Yes, my posts will always have blogging keywords in them, but keyword density, is more of a matter of concentrating on one particular phrase per post. This one, could be "keywords" or "keyword phrases". Personally I don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. Maybe I should. Stuffing keywords is bad too. Google looks at that as "spamming" a keyword, and could penalize a blogger for that. It's funny you should mention using keywords in the comments, as that is how I got the hit on "list of profanity words", as Ian had used that phrase in his comment in my profanity post. Catherine brings up a great point in her comment, as most people do not search by using one word only. You almost need to be a little physic and guess what words people might use to find your post. Although it does sound like it is defeating the purpose of being true to yourself in your writings, the study of keyword phrases can also inspire you to write on a subject by using a different angle. <em>Barbara's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bloggingwithoutablog/DWWZ/~3/233606706/' rel="nofollow">How Keywords Attract A Larger Audience</a></em> Hi Hunter,

I have not used the Google service for checking keyword phrases in titles, but that's a great idea. I'll have to test a few of mine. Have you tried AdSense recently? I would guess you might get different type ads now that you are utilizing more SEO techniques. <em>Barbara's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bloggingwithoutablog/DWWZ/~3/233606706/' rel="nofollow">How Keywords Attract A Larger Audience</a></em> Hi Catherine,

People talk about keywords, but they really mean keyphrases, because it's virtually impossible to optimise for one single word. Also by using a specific phrase you can get more targetted traffic. For example, if you were going to write about interviewing, and you found that there was 3 million competing pages for interview advice and only 700 competing pages for interview mistakes, it would make more sense to include the phrase interview mistakes in your post. <em>CatherineL's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuccessPasscode/~3/233607136/' rel="nofollow">Are You Part of This Bungling Band of Bloggers?</a></em> Hi Hunter – it’s more about using particular keyphrases in a certain post.
