keyword density is the percentage of a keyword which we used in a content. One keyword should not be repeat from 3 to 4 time in 100 words. but i am confused about keyword determination. Can anybody explain it here?

Brief primer answering the thread raised by and discussed by : treating keyword density as a hard percentage is an old-school shortcut. Modern search engines reward topic depth, clarity, and people-first writing, and they treat obvious repetition or hidden keyword blocks as spam. Google’s spam policies and its guidance on “people‑first” content make this explicit; Bing’s webmaster guidance gives the same warning. (semrush.com)

Practical checklist to determine and use keywords (simple, repeatable workflow):

  • Decide user intent for the page (informational, commercial, transactional, local).
  • Pick one primary focus topic per page and 2–4 natural variations or long‑tail phrases.
  • Put the primary phrase where it helps users first: the title, H1, snippet/meta, and near the top of the content; use descriptive alt text for images.
  • Cover the topic with related terms and clear sections rather than forcing repeats; aim for natural language and readable flow.
  • Measure results (impressions, clicks, rankings) and iterate with Search Console / Bing Webmaster Tools instead of chasing a percent. (developers.google.com)

Clarifying the thread: ’s formula and the “3–4%” rule reflect older guidance — useful historically but not a modern best practice. is right to stress readers first: good content keeps people coming back. and : avoid keyword stuffing and don’t treat density as a KPI—use it only as a quick readability check. If a page looks awkward or a report shows drops, audit for thin or repetitive content and follow the search engines’ spam guidance to remediate. (developers.google.com)

Keyword density is very important from SEO point of view. The formula for Keyword density is No. of Keywords/ Total no. of word * 100. Keyword density must be 3% to 4% is good. If more than that google consider it as Key word stuffing. It is not good for website ranking.

What about Bing?

Too many keywords and too little good content won't get you anywhere. Besides Google, your visitors won't come again to read only keywords. They come for high quality content, not braindead article, filled with keywords.
So, I'd forget about Google (but not too much:)) and focus on my readership, e.g. repeated visits.
