I was doing some density analysis work prior to optimisation on Ink, and noticed one of my pages was perfectly set up to rank well, with the correct density, keywords in title, metas etc. Did a search on the keyphrase and found myself in only 13th position with a whole lot of rubbish above me.

Did a closer inspection and saw the top 3 ranked pages, had little or no density, no keywords in title or metas, YET DID HAVE have one or two of the following:
-the keyphrase either in the URL
-the keyphrase in the URL of an outgoing link
-the keyphrase in outgoing link text
-the keyphrase in the 'alt'tag.

Does Ink really put this much emphasis on this?
