Simple Trick to Achieve Proper Keyword Density

Proper KeywordDensity

Proper keyword density is one of those search engine optimization terms that’s been around a long time. If our customers are looking to increase their Google ranking using the tactic, we have a surprisingly simple tip: sticky notes.

Yep. We’re suggesting a little sticky note could help you achieve proper keyword density.

At Shortcut Content, we source all of our customer’s content through interviews. When we conduct those interviews via Skype, we have our customers place a sticky note either right on the monitor or below the video camera. If they are recording a topic about “Proper Keyword Density,” it would say just that!

Because it’s in your field of vision, you’ll naturally say it every now and then and it will help keep your mind focused on the topic at hand. And it should be the exact term or phrase you’re trying to rank. So you wouldn’t say optimal keyword density or the right keyword density – you’ll continue to use to the exact phrase because it’s right in front of you.

But be careful – there is risk in over-doing it. You could end up with writing that seems a bit robotic, as if it’s been written just for the search engines, as opposed to people. And while you want Google to recognize your content, you don’t want to lose your audience by making it your entire focus.

So there you go. Proper keyword density can be achieved with something as simple as a sticky note. Carry on, content creators.
