I am a newbie so forgive me if this may seem like a novice question.

I read somewhere that there is such a thing as pages getting a spam penalty for having a too "high" kw density.

The post said that on av if your pages had a kw density over 9.5% you would get a spam penalty, but if your kw density was below that cut off you could get very high rankings.

Anyone know about this ?

this is given that no obvious "spam" is used.

How can you find out the kw density on your pages ?

count the words and divide by your keyword ? How about for phrases ?

I am lost on this, I thought a high non spam keyword density was a good thing.
