The advice from Google is to write for your readers and to use keywords where they should naturally be used. From memory, seo's recommend something between 3-7% but others may well correct me on this.

I personally try to weave keywords in in a "natural" fashion into h1-h6 tags, alt text, content etc.

For example, if your keyword is "dog" and your picture is of a dog chasing a stick, put your alt text "dog chasing a stick" - don't spam and put "nice dog, friendly dog, large dog, dog chases stick, dog catches stick, dog wants stick, dog, dog, dog ..." In a website I personally did, where one set of keywords were Gascony and chateau, I had a photo of the stone chateau and so used alt text "chateau constructed of Gascony stone" or something similar.

Google "keyword density tools" and use a few of them to check the keyword density of your site.

NOPE "experts" and "gurus" talk about crap like "keyword density" genuine SEOs will tell you the truth!

3 to 7 percent huh? No point in starting my new business in Red Dog County, called Red Dogs, using my reddog.com domain, selling red dogs then is there

As far as I know it is worth to check your serp competitors and have the same keyword density as they have

Keyword density is the frequency of key-term or key-frage present in a web page.
It has the limetations on the basis of contents that are present in the web page.It is most important component for good seo result.

Wrong!

Density and Frequency are NOT equivalent terms.

Frequency is a count of items in a given space or time frame.

Density is the ratio of items to other items.

Think of it as going to the toilet, fequency would be how often you goto the toilet, density would be.... hmmmmmm, probably not the best example I could think of, but imagine drinking 10 pints of lager, then eating the hottest chicken vindaloo you have ever had.....

Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the picked keyword appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to arise at noteworthy places.
