Huge Difference between 2% and 3.1% keyword density
Last Update: June 20, 2010

Actually, the title should have "/or is it the mere fact that I made big changes?"

 Yesterday I published rewritten articles for my first site.  The first version articles had keyword density under 2.  The new version has keyword density between 3.1 and 3.4%  Before I made the changes, I went to 

https://adwords.google.com/select/AdTargetingPreviewTool and asked it how my site was doing.  Last night, after I published the changed version, I pinged my site.  This morning, I went to the AdTargetingPreviewTool and asked it the same.  Here are the results (the numbers are my rank for the keyword); I had to use Ad Targeting because on my computer, having worked so much on the site, every time I type one of the keywords, I'm #1:

If you work permutations on your top 1 keyword, perhaps you're missing something others are using in their natural search? If you found 1, then you can find 2, 3, or 4 others ranking as well. Offering ideas, bkb2012.

Do the lower numbers mean you're ranking better? If so, that's very important information to have. I'm curious what they'll look like after a month though. Please keep us posted.

aloha you ~~~ Here you are, sharing so well as always! ---I tried going to the AdTargetingPreviewTool to see what the numbers mean---rank in Google perhaps???Turns out you have to be an ad publisher to get access and I am not (yet.) Sooooo, I ask you the question-----what has happened here~~~ A dramatic change in numbers, so quickly---what does it mean??? I think the take-home point here is that the specific keyword density increase you made, was very helpful. Right???So fast??? Will you repeat the ping in a week or two and let us know?
Big thanks from Diane, reefswimmer
