Generally, when we talk about over optimization, I think that we talk about content and product pages.

I am wondering if a contact page can be over optimized. I have a contact page on a site whose keyword density for a keyword phrase, blue widgets, is pretty high.

I actually want another page on the site to rank for this phrase but when I wrote the contact page, I included the phrase several times, and since there isn't a lot of text on the page, the keyword density is pretty high.

All pages on the site link to each other so the contact page is linking to the other pages of the site.

Is it possible that the contact page is over optimized and this is having some sort of overall effect on the site?
