I know this question has been asked before, but here goes anyway....

I used a keyword analyzer from search engine world and found that the 1-2 keyword phrases were around 10 % and the 3 keywords phrases were at 18%

Now, I ran the analyzer only checking title and description tags as well as text (left out the keywords tag).

Do these numbers scream spam? How reliable is this test?

Any opinions would be great! Thanks in advance......

Deb,

How does your copy sound? Does it read well? Or does it sound like spam?

That's all the keyword density analysis you need. Read it out loud and honestly evaluate if it sounds natural or contrived.

The copy is something that was sent to us directly from the distributor (it's really really nice). Because we are contracted, we have to comply with their wishes as to how we advertise for them.

That being said, I was just worried that the 18% deal would be excessive. I have heard on more than 1 thread that no more than 9% is ideal.

But, as I said, the copy is beautiful and reads well. Very informational without sounding in the least bit spammy.

Thanks for the reply Jill. Appreciated!

Then you shouldn't have to worry about it, I'm sure!
