You will get answers for all above questions.

Before giving a definition of keyword density I would like to remind you about generation keywords.  Go to How to start SEO article and read it, if you have not already done so.  When you found keywords relevant to your website’s (article) topic and with low advertiser competition, write down all of them on the paper.  At this point a process of using proper keyword density has begun.

Thus keyword density is a process of repetition of target keywords throughout your content.

What do I mean by this?
When you write an article on your chosen topic, keep an eye on the list of keywords, which you created earlier.  You have to put target keywords in the title and into first two and last paragraphs of the content.  Other, nontarget keywords could be spread along middle part of content.
For example, your topic is dieting.  Before writing an article I assume you have done a keyword research using Google Keyword Tool and Wordtracker.
Dieting is a very general word and has high level of competition.  Thus it is not keyword that you want.  Conversely, the following words are suitable for keywords:

• A beach body

• Lose fat

• Stomach rolls

I have chosen these keywords for educational purposes only.  If you want to use these keywords in practice, I would recommend checking them on Google before using.

Thus these keywords have to be intensively used at beginning and end of your article.  However, keywords should not be repeated more than five times per 400 words of content.  Otherwise, search engine will see your webpage as a spam.

When you have completed your article, the next step is to check keyword density.

How to do this?
There are a lot of keyword density tools on the Internet.  However, before using keyword density tools you have to find your No1 competitor.  Type in Google search engine text input one of your target keyword.  For example, “a beach body” and click Search.  Do not miss quotation marks.  They are also essential.  On the search result page under No1 is your most powerful competitor.  You want your website to be No1.  Therefore you have to analyze how your competitor managed to obtain first place in the search engine result page.  Write down your competitor website’s URL and type in browser window http://www.webuildpages.com.  Click SEO Tools icon in appeared browser window and then choose Keyword Density Analysis Tool.  Enter your competitor website’s URL and click Submit.  You will get Keyword Density result page.  Print it and do the same with your website’s URL.  Keep in mind that by this point your article must be uploaded onto the Internet.
When you have both results (yours and your competitor’s) you can analyze them and to find any weakness in your keyword density.
