Keyword density. Umm, I have never even looked at it, and care even less about it. I just write stuff that visitors might like to read.
It's possible that a page with less Keyword Density that my page go in front of me on google?
Absolutely; it happens all the time. Keyword density is just one of many factors in the ranking algorithm, and certainly not the most important at Google.
BTW, the keyword density can also be too high! Above some limit it might not work as good.
Thanks You.
Since it can't get past approval for some odd reason here was my question.
Two word competitive keyword phrase in my industry and one particular site ranks #3 with no meta tags(not important as I understand with google) but has a title named "HOME." Very little site content with only ten pages. Nowhere on the page is the keyword phrase. An eight year old could build a better site...it's pretty ugly lookin' Everything about the site in regards to SEO is lacking. I'm guessing the rank must have alot to do with incoming links as the name of the company has the two word phase in it?
There are over 100 factors that Google takes into account when ranking sites. Brett has written an excellent discussion of how to buila a Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone [webmasterworld.com]. For another discussion see the thread on 100 variables [webmasterworld.com].
Your own explanation makes a lot of sense.
Linking text can be very important for Google - The site being small may also help as Page Rank is not spread to thinly.
Although some posts are OK as far as TOS are concerned if topics have recently or oftenly been covered then they may not get approval - if your post therefore does not gain approval try a site search :)
Yea, I think I have answered my own question. Amaizing how important incoming text link must be. This looks like a case that it may be the most important factor to ranking...BUT I check alltheweb.com for the site in question with the query....
link.all:www.siteurl.com
....and there's nuttin? Nothing shows. It doesn't make sense.
Disregard that. Had the url confused.
