Word Stuffing & Key Word Density

[CocoMagenta]

I have read many articles about keyword stuffing and density. What precentage of your webpage should the keyword density be as I am a bit concenred that I will get a warning from google about keyword stuffing.

Lets say I have a website selling books, it is only natural for the keyword book to show up as a high precentage.

All advice appreciated.

From what I've read, there's no hard answer on a percentage. I've heard recommendations to keep it around 5% to optimize but under 10% for stuffing purposes.

Aside from using tools to analyze the content, you can usually tell a lot just from reading. If a page is stuffed with keywords, it's not too hard for a human to tell.

I was with the same difficult - what is key word stuffing for google? And I didn't found a black and white answer. There is a lot of "i think", and with this answer you will need to create your "i think".

First, there was in Q&A a very good answer for that from Ryan Kent, you will fount it here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/stuffing-keywords-into-urls

Second, you should use the schema.org to define more detailed your website. So, if work with products, you can define via schema your product name, description and so on. This might be not considered in keyword stuffing for google.

Third, use your judment. Its always the best solution.

Fourth, if you find the answer, please let me know....
