Is Article Length A Factor For Keyword Stuffing?
-
I've noticed that the SEOmoz On Page analysis tool sets a limit of 15 occurrences for a keyword on a page.
It seems this is not dependent on the page length?
Is that not relevant?
Thanks!

Yes I agree that keywords should appear naturally and a good quality content writer never worries about the keywords. Though he/she should be aware of the keywords. Further, its also suggested that article heading should have at least one keyword, making KWs in bold and using KWs mostly in first 2 parah is also suggested.
All the above factors are good as far as they are done naturally and as far as it delivers good value to user.

Yeah, that was also my view.
However after being hit by 'something' (EMD or Panda 20) I am desperately trying to work out what that something could be.
-
It should be dependent upon page length.
I completely ignore such rules and simply write naturally.
Occurrences per page and density are hogwash.
-
That is a good baseline figure.
I also read somewhere (might've been SEOMOZ) that a good formula to determine whether or not you're keyword stuffing is: #/keywords (divided by) #/total words = >5.5%.
Hope this helps.

Repeat keywords on the pages/titles
I know it is important to avoid duplicate titles and title tags, but I wanted to verify. Lets say you are a collection agency, would it be smart as a strategy to do domain.com/collectionagency/Dallas_ collection_agency and have that same key word structure for many states so many pages?

How we can rank two keywords
Here is my example. I developed a property inspection app, where the keyword I try to rank is property inspection app, and property inspection software. Property Inspection Software got slightly more traffic than app. I would like to rank both of this keyword high for my main website, but there is only one title, one H1 tag I can use to have keyword, where if I use "App" there is no way to have "Software" on the title, etc. How can I deal with such a case? Any help will be appreciate.

Simple on-site SEO - bet practice for keywords in content
Hello, The Moz on-page grader will give a grade of A if the keyword appears exactly in the content at least one time. If there are 500 words and a lot of it is about the main keyword, what have you found to be important to look for beyond the on-page grader - beyond the one exact instance of the keyword? I'm specifically talking just about keywords in the content. My guess is that it needs to occur 3 or 4 times in different forms and at least once exactly, but the on-page grader doesn't require it. What have you found?

Is it SEO-wise to edit an already published article?
One of the pages on the website is #7 on the first page for a highly competetive keyword. Since I would like to improve rankings and the page is not optimized (e.g. keyword density is 0), is it SEO-wise to edit an article and create a good on-page optimization? Of course, the ultimate goal is to be in TOP 3 for a specific keyword.

Is the use of some keywords necessary to be included in many of the pages?
Hello, I have a website about SEO and webdesign. I want to ask will mentioning these two keywords in many of my articles have any benefit for particular landing pages that I have. F.e.: I have two pages: example.com/seo example.com/web-design They are optimized and have Grade A in SEOMOZ's onpage tool for their two keywords. So my question is: Will broad use of my keywords SEO and webdesign in the text, title or alt not only on my two landing pages but also in other articles of my website also help these two pages to rank higher for their keyword. I see in Webmaster Tools (http://images.seroundtable.com/google-content-keywords-1351084751.jpg) there is an option to see the content keywords in your website. May be that shows that the content in my website is more relevant to particular topic and that also can influence the ranking of my two landing pages.

I've got a question regarding this. So normally Meta keywords it is not relevant and we shouldn't use them, however there are opinions that we can use them as these are signals for other Search Engines.
