Is Keyword Density still important in SEO?

[9infotech]

yes
It will create the difference in Ranking, Indexing and crawling.

[JohnVilson]

No, Google took the focus away from keyword density.

You can create your primary keyword just once or twice and then try to focus on synonyms and semantics (related words).

For example, if jogging shoes are your primary keyword, remember to also build in related words such as sports shoes, (brand name) jogging shoes, (brand name) sports shoes, jogging gear, best shoes for jogging, etc.

As long as you write in a natural way you don't need to be worried about keyword density. Don't use same words again and again instead use similar words, synonyms instead of using same keyword again and again. The main thing is the content quality.

Most marketers are now aware that keyword stuffing is not only ineffective, but that it can result in a manual action against their entire site. However, many marketers and writers still struggle with whether or not keyword density still has a place – even a small one – within SEO.

 If you are using  2 to 3% keyword density then It will be prospective. It still works.

Keyword density tells you how often a search term appears in a text in relation to the total number of words it contains. For example: if a keyword appears three times in a 100 word text the keyword density would be 3%. From the point of view of search engines, a high keyword density is a good indicator of search engine spam. If a keyword appears too often in a website, search engines will downgrade the website and it will then appear lower down in search results.
