Easy Clickbank Management with the Right Tools

By Merle © 2005

Clickbank has been around for years and has earned an excellent reputation online. They make it easy for anyone to be able to take credit card payments from their websites without the hassle of obtaining a merchant account. It also has a built in affiliate program. For their trouble they take a small percentage of each transaction plus a 1.00 service fee.

The problem with Clickbank is they're lacking in the "user interface" department. They have a simple log in that will show you your sales but as far as powerful options to analyze and manipulate your data, they have none.

Lucky for you other software developers have stepped up to the plate and come up with some pretty cool options to enhance your life as an online Clickbank merchant.

How Keyword Density, Frequency, Prominence And Proximity Affects Search Engine Rankings

By Michael Wong © 2005


In this article, I explain the difference between keyword density, frequency, prominence and proximity, and how they affect search engine rankings.


Keyword Density

Keyword density refers to the ratio (percentage) of keywords contained within the total number of indexable words within a web page.

The preferred keyword density ratio varies from search engine to search engine. In general, I recommend using a keyword density ratio in the range of 2-8%.

You may like to use this real-time keyword analysis tool to help you optimize a web page's keyword density ratio.

Keyword Frequency

Keyword frequency refers to the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase appears within a web page.

The theory is that the more times a keyword or keyword phrase appears within a web page, the more relevance a search engine is likely to give the page for a search with those keywords.

In general, I recommend that you ensure that the most important keyword or keyword phrase is the most frequently use keywords in a web page.

But be careful not to abuse the system by repeating the same keyword or keyword phrases over and over again.

Keyword Prominence

Keyword prominence refers to how prominent keywords are within a web page.

The general recommendation is to place important keywords at, or near, the start of a web page, sentence, TITLE or META tag.

Keyword Proximity

Keyword proximity refers to the closeness between two or more keywords. In general, the closer the keywords are, the better.

For example:

How Keyword Density Affects Rankings In Search Engine

Using the example above, if someone searched for "search engine rankings," a web page containing the first sentence is more likely to rank higher than the second.

The reason is because the keywords are placed closer together. This is assuming that everything else is equal, of course.
