The absolute best thing that you can do is not concern yourself with keyword density and instead write for humans.

The best keyword density is the most natural sounding. If you're trying to rank for the keyword "red shoes" then if you had sentences all over your site like, "If you are looking for red shoes and not blue shoes but red shoes then you've come to the right place. We're the best place for red shoes that you can find. So to find red shoes just click on the navigation menu."

The keyword density there would be way too high. Repeating your keywords in an unnatural way is too much.

Keyword density is important to your ranking ... it's important to make it natural.

Keyword density is important, but like dani said, write for readers.

Search engines will detect how many times the term is displayed on a page, and it will dynamically affect your ranking positively, up to a certain point. After a certain amount of times they keywords are said, it begins to look like spam and is affected so.

As far as search engines are concerned, if a particular keyword has a higher density on that particular web page, then the chances of that page obtaining a much better search engine ranking increases almost exponentially. Not all search engines compute or evaluate keyword density in the same way and most have their own proprietary algorithm for calculating the average density of a keyword.

But that only works up to a point, at which time the curve takes a sharp downhill turn.

I did some research on this recently and most copywriters say keep keyword density under 10%, just make sure your h1/titles/h2 are targeting the keyphrases, and maybe have the keyphrase repeat a few times througout the page.
Keyword density used to be much more important with seo but I rewrote some content to have less keyword density and my sites are ranking better, especially on the new live search.

if i say simple never repeat the same keyword lots of time. Just right your copy so that the keywords are neither less nor too much.

Again quality is important, if you focus more on highly effective keywords that will worth much more, don't bother about density.
