I am quite good at SEO but I really could use the advice off some other experts here. I have designed a site www.web-design-doncaster.com. Optimised for the key words 'web design doncaster'. Now I tried to put the term web design doncaster as often as I can within the site, but I wonder is their a point of saturation where google may penalise the site. I have some tools to work out keyword density but none of them tell me what % is good or bad.

web design doncaster has a density of 5.96 % for the main text, is this ok or too high? Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

IMHO, 5-6% is pretty much the cutoff point, and anything over 10% is definitely spamming. To my knowledge Google does track, and penalise, sites over this threshold.

 

Some of this depends on the type of content - a 1,000 word article, for example, would look bizarre with a 10% keyword density, whereas a 100 word home page with a few "Web Design Doncaster" titles and a couple of in-text mentions isn't so bad.

Doncaster keywords on a Doncaster based web design/seo site don't need to be overdone. If the keyword Doncaster appears too many time all people will see is "Doncaster" and the text won't read right. There's only so many times you can write "Doncaster" and get away with it!

 

 

The keyword "Doncaster" is relevent to a site that offers web design in the Doncaster area. Of course you could also say that Doncaster is in South Yorks and broaden the scope of the text. The main point is not to overdo it and always write for your visitors.

 

Which one reads better?
