5) Limit Keywords Density
It is very important to maintain Keyword density for better ranking in search engines. If you will use Too less keywords then it lead to less ranking, whereas if you will stuffing or using too much Keywords lead to over optimization. I recommend you to maintain the keyword ration as 2% in a post. Only add keywords in specific places where it is necessary to place keyword. Must use keywords in Post title, Alt tag, Description, Permalink and in Footer of the post. Don’t use keyword again and again to manipulate the search engines, it will decrease your ranking. After completing your article, check again your whole post and realize are you used too less keywords or used too much keywords in your post. If you then maintain it and publish your post.
