KW density and natural sounding text

utilizing seo software

[blaize]

I've been using search engine optimizer software in optimizing my sites for particular keyphrases, and find that it sounds very spammy when I follow what the software advises with regard to kw density. I'm wondering if it would be better to write more natural sounding body text despite the fact that doing so causes a low kw density.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Keyword density is dead.

Write natural sounding body text. You might want to use a plural, or synonym once in while, which you might not do in a normal text.

Then check your logs. Some stuff might suprise you in popularity.
Write a new page/title for that search phrase query.
Do not forget, Google indexes all text.

ok...help
if I have a product "A" and I have my page pretty well optimized for a couple keywords and rank well (#1 to #4) in those. But when I check my search logs I find that a fair amount of OTHER people are looking for product "A" using different keyword phrases that I would ALSO like to catch...I should make a NEW and DIFFERENT page on my site for the same product just using different words/phrases? or just try to add the phrases into the already optimized pages?

If I make a NEW page with the same product:
How do I not have the same product show up twice on the site to confuse EVERYONE why I now have 2 pictures of Product "A"...

I hope I made sense...I tried<smirk>

If I understand you well you already have those "other" keyword phrases in your page, otherwise how do you know?

Baseline: make it look and feel natural. If you cannot add special text to an extra page leave it.

then what does that mean?

Sorry sillyme,

misread your comment.

Yes. Lets say you have a natural language question in one of your paragraphs.
Its in your logs frequently.
Make a new page with the question as title.
But use new unique text and a good anchor text towards it.

It's okay to have the same product show up twice. Some web sites are 1000 pages all about one single product. That's where FAQ pages and a score of other types of pages all come in.

As for keyword plurals, someone else mentioned in the Google Algo thread that plurals shouldn't be too mixed up in a page and I agree. I like to treat plurals distinctly from the singulars.

thanks....I will try that!
