  If you’re trying to earn money online by promoting affiliate programs, using Adsense, or selling your own products and services you’ll need to get as much traffic as possible to your web sites. These days, to get traffic to your web pages, whether you use pay per click advertising or search engine optimization to promote them, you need to have as much unique, high quality content as possible. Within the content of your individual web pages you need to use the keyword or keyword phrase that you’re trying to get ranked in to get first page results on the major search engines. How often you use those keywords is known as keyword density.

  Of course you’ll want to use your main keywords and phrases often enough in your web pages for higher rankings. However, if you use the same keywords and phrases too much within your pages content you may get penalized by the search engines. For proper on-page search engine optimization you need to find the right keyword density to succeed. Most webmasters consider the best keyword density to be 3 or 4% to rank higher in Google with Yahoo being a bit higher at 7 or 8%. Since there may be many places in your pages content to use your main keywords and phrases you should use some alternative words and phrases so you don’t overdo it. If your main phrase is “best dog training collar” you can use “top dog behavior training collar” instead for some variety. This may also help you get higher search engine rankings for various keywords and phrases.

  Whatever the case, make sure to use your main keywords often enough, but not too often to succeed at SEO and make more money online
