Keyword density is a term used for number of times the selected keyword appears within the content of the web page. But one should keep in mind that keywords shouldn’t be over used otherwise you will be penalized for spamming the keywords by search engines. Therefore you should use keywords sufficient enough to appear at important places.

In case you use keywords after every other word, then it is for sure that your site will probably be rejected as a spam site.

The keyword density is expressed as percentage of the total content displayed on any given web page. For example if you have 500 words in any given web page then the keywords with in the content should be 4 to 5 percent. This is mostly recommended for any search engines. It is commonly the accepted range of displaying keywords within the web page and it is necessary to stay within that limits in order to get recognized by search engines and do not exceed that to avoid penalizing by search engines.
