Granted, there are some clients who will edit your material to change the keyword density, but they are few and far between. You are usually expected to do this yourself. Major search engines will reject a web page that goes over a certain percentage of keyword density. Your client should be able to tell you what percentage they want you to use.

5. On a calcultor, type in the number of times the keyword is used, then hit the "/" button or equivenelt division sign, then type in your word count. A strange looking number will appear.
