Keyword density has always been a topic of discussion in SEO and internet marketing forums. The reason why it is deemed important is because in the older days, keyword density was one of the most important factors to attend to. In 2000, if you wanted to rank high for a specific keyword, you would stuff in your keywords in the title tag, description tag, keyword tags and also in the content area.
But times have changed. Now, keyword density is a measure which does not really make or break you in the SEO game. Sure, it is good to have repetitions of your keywords in your content, but it will not make a huge difference. Search engines have come to realize that people simply exploit these tricks in order to rank high. For this reason, they have stopped giving a lot of credit for undertaking these measures.
