Keyword density/saturation

Hello,

some time ago I started to create my first niche porn site. I've been reading a lot about seo practices, but some of the "must haves" seem to be a bit of a stretch. I'm referring specifically to keyword density. Many experts write that each article should contain a key phrase in the title and a minimum of 2 key phrases in the description - depending on the length of the text. What about if it is a niche where it is difficult to find any synonyms that generate reasonably attractive traffic? Anyway, as far as I know, google has long been sceptical about the number of keywords. Some seo experts believe that the number of keywords on an entire page should not exceed 3% - the content should be unique and not create duplicate content for google. Then the google robot has a problem reading the core content of the page. If keywords are stuffed into every article title and description, the saturation of these words on the whole page increases up to 30-40%. How do you address this?

Keyword density or keyword saturation refers to the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page in relation to the total number of words on the page. It is a metric that was once used by search engines to determine the relevance of a web page to a particular keyword or topic.

However, keyword density is no longer a major factor in search engine rankings, as search engines now place greater emphasis on the overall quality and relevance of content. Keyword stuffing, which involves excessively using a keyword or phrase to manipulate search engine rankings, can actually harm a website's ranking.

As a general rule, it is recommended to use keywords and phrases naturally throughout your content without overusing them. It's more important to focus on creating high-quality, informative content that will be useful to your audience and encourage them to engage with your website.

In fact, my website is only a month old and my keyword saturation is already 11%. And I only use them in the video titles and in the video description - one, maximum two times. Do I then have to give up a keyword from time to time in the description or video title? Unless this is also influenced by image descriptions and file names?

There is no need to give up a keyword in the description or video title every now and then, even if image descriptions and file names can affect your keyword saturation. However, if you find that your keyword saturation is increasing too quickly, you may want to adjust your content strategy and reduce the number of times you use that particular keyword.
