New tool to test your website content 2008-02-29 15:25:00 As I noted previously in Deoptimizing - a new way of seo keyword density is an important factor if you're serious in SEO. Once when you have a great kind of content, the crucial part is to be able to present it infront of the right public.And by having keyword density above the threshold of 2 - 4% will put your content into the famous Supplemental index.
