Scenario :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Keyword: sunshine
A website (e.g. a blog) has the keyword sunshine in the
1) page title
2) url
3) alt attributes of images
4) meta description
5) meta keywords
I post every day three 300 word articles. Each article has "one" keyword (i.e. sunshine) in the
1) h1 tag
2) an anchor link which points towards the own website
3) body of the text
4) image (which is named with the keyword and is also present in the ALT attribute)
---> This way the blog grows content every day by 900 words with the keyword inside. But other number words (word densities) are much higher than this one (e.g. sun, bath, beach, flower, relax, sand, etc.) and so I feel my keyword loses its relevance for the being considered in a ranking.
Question :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A) Is this over-optimized and will Google penalise me?
B) I have a difficulty in understanding the concept of using the keywords appropriately:
1) For example, I do not know if my page grows content fast but has
always the same keyword and if this would have a negative effect on the ranking.
2) I also don't know if it is too little to mention the keyword one time only in the body
of an article, as there are so many other words and if this would mean that the keyword would be just ignored while other words are recognised, i.e. words I don't aim for.
3) I read it is good to have a keyword density of 3%. How does this work - is that related to the whole site, the body of an article or the whole article and so on.
4) If I have three keywords to focus on - should each article focus on one different keyword or should it all mention all three keywords with each post and a density of 3%?
Do you have a tip how I can get a better picture of this?
