absolute number of keywords or relative density?

absolute number of keywords or relative density?

To elaborate - any thoughts on which one is better. Keyword site is going for is widget. If the site only has two words:

one widget

The keyword density is 50%. Surely quite impressive for a search engine.

How about if instead, the site has thousands of words - and the keyword density for widget is 20%

Which is better - that is - does the absolute number of keyword occurances matter? Or is it just the relative density?

N.B I realise that if the relative density is high - this is bad thing. The figure of 50% was just for illustration purposes.

Sorry to ammend the last line of last post

N.B I realise that if the relative density is TOO high - this is bad thing. The figure of 50% was just for illustration purposes.

but does absolute number of keywords matter? Or just relative density?

[Leosghost]

Depends on the engine

Depends on the engine

how do you know this? Trial and error analysis of the different engines? Can you tell me which engines go for absolute and which for relative? Google and yahoo would be good ones to know for.

thanks.

I also try for 8-10% with great success. Many affiliate sales to back that up.
