The search engine only requires you to optimize the article with 2 – 3% of keyword density. If the article contains too many keywords, it will be filtered out from the search result. The keyword density is based on the word count of the article. The higher the word count of the article, the higher the keyword density. The lower the word count of the article, the lower the keyword density of the article. For example a 300 word article should not use more than 9 keywords. A 500 word article can contain up to 15 keywords. Every article directory has a different guideline regarding the keyword density. To find out how many keywords are allowed in the article, you should reference the article submission guidelines.

If your article contains more keyword that the minimum requirement, your article will be rejected by the editor. The editor will manually check the article and make sure that it don’t have too many keywords. Some article directories are more advanced and have an automatic keyword density checker.
