Question 1

Is keyword density still a real ranking factor?

Accepted Answer

Modern search engines rely on semantic understanding far more than raw keyword counts. Density is best used as a sanity check against keyword stuffing, not as a target to optimize toward.

Question 2

What density range is considered natural?

Accepted Answer

There's no official number, but content written naturally around a topic often lands somewhere between 0.5% and 2.5% for its main keyword. Much higher than that tends to read as repetitive.
