* The percentage of times keyword or key phases appears on a web page compared to the total word on that page.

* In early 90s keyword density was an important ranking factor, but later on search engines start giving priority to other factors.

* Over use of keyword is called keyword stuffing or search spam.

* Webmaster advise keyword density between 1-3 percent but researcher don't suggest to use keyword density matrices. It was old practice, and dead. Use keywords in wise way. Natural keywords, don't stuff
