How much of keyword density is too much keyword density?

Keyword density, is so old school stuff !
I’ve written about the 6-7% formula way earlier, I agree. But things have changed a lot since then. Google obviously has become more clever and does not give the importance it used to give to keyword density anymore. Even though it is a good practice to keep keyword density levels to a minimum, it’s definitely not the single thing that can give you that push up the SERPs.
A more natural and honest way of optimization would be not to follow any patterns in keyword density, rather focus on balancing the SEO factors such as Anchor Texts, Backlinks and On page SEO.
If not clear enough, check out this cartoon from Ranked Hard.

Sweet, but kinda old :\
oh, and the “Ranked Hard” anchor is screwed up
Thanks for letting know Konstantin. Corrected now.
Hi Karthik,
i have been doing some research with my blog and how google treats it;-)
It seems all my posts are indexed but all have the Blog’s meta description instead of picking up the Individual post’s content.
Now,i haven set up individual meta tags for my posts,neither do i know how to.But isnt it something that should happen automatically
Please suggest
Ankit, you are on blogger.com. I’m assuming you’ve done no manual tweaking of the code. So the meta description by default is the original one of your site settings. However you can edit this manually. Also please note that this code may/may not work depending on the template you are using. So try it and if it doesn’t, be ready to revert back.
Add this code to the meta info –
