A number of times you should use your keyword in a guest blog
-
Is it true that if you want to rank for a chosen keyword, you have to mention that keyword 3%-5% of the whole content (in a guest blog)?
-
Whatever works for you, at times some calculation of keyword density may be required to avoid overuse.
-
I absolutely agree that "the quality of the copy is more important than the number of times that the keyword is used." I don't believe that I have ever calculated my keyword density because I believe that the quality of the copy is (almost) EVERYTHING. Some people will scoff at this, but I know for a fact that if the quality of the copy is high enough that linkbuilding is not necessary... it enables you to spend all of your time on the copy.

The quality of the copy is more important than the number of times that the keyword is used, I aim for a 3% keyword density; regardless of the purpose of the copy.

You should write in natural language. That might produce a very different keyword density - especially if the article is really long. Google can tell when you are stuffing in the keywords. Readers think that you don't know how to write.

How to link blog posts to web pages
In past I would write blog posts and link to a static web page. The link from the blog post to the static web page would be the same keyword(s) as the web page was optimized around. With the latest Google updates, it seems like the keywords linking to the web page need to be varied, but I'm not sure what the ideal system would be?

Blog Roll Links - A good or bad thing ?
I Use Blog roll links all the time but recently they seem to be having a lower effect on listings. Is there a limit on Blog roll links you place on a blog. Internal blog roll links and external blog roll links. Also do you rename your blog roll to something such as popular links like we do ?
