Hi Nicholas. Your post is very useful. My website has ranked well in search engines on some interesting keywords and it has about 22 pages. The search engine queries and the traffic are very low in the last one month. There is a mismatch between the kind of keywords I am ranking, SERP scores and the number of search queries. My site is fairly new and started getting favorable SERP scores only a month back. is there a time gap between getting good SERP rank on relevant keywords and actual traffic (and queries)? Should I wait or did I miss something?

Hey Troy, Sune just asked the same question. The rule of thumb is 2-5% keyword density. So 20-50 times for a 1000-word post. That may sound like a lot, but it’s not. Like I told Sune, focus on writing for humans. I have no idea what keyword density I use for the posts I write.

Thanks, Sune. 2-5% keyword density is commonly cited. But don’t focus on that. Write for people because Google’s job is to rank for people.
