hey

When Google is now giving priority to more natural and high-quality content so should I still be worried about kW density?

If yes what will be the ideal kW density?

You should not stuff your keywords in your content. The ideal KW density is 2%. It should not go beyond 3% in any case.
 
Plus remember that Google can detect synonyms for keywords. So the more natural and user-friendly it is the better it will be. Natural language is preferred and their AIs are only getting better at language detection.

Keyword stuffing leads to awkward writing.

I have a client that demands that I still wildly overstuff all of her content with KeyWords (between 5-10%). It is terrible but that is what the client wants. I cringe every time I have to write for her.
 
Depends on the niche itself. There is a certain "default" for every niche, that Google considers normal. Some niches are spammy and you can get away with keyword stuffing, because that's the default, some niches aren't like that. Always good to check what your competition is doing in this regard.

thanks will def check
 
Well, it doesn't matter at all
LSI is modern hype - write for people, not for machine
Of course, use some keywords, but more intuitively

Keywords density seems to be an outdated concept nowadays. Maybe you should work on topic revelence ? Think about it as a list of word that you need to cover. For example, if you are writing an article about cats, do you cover cat's food, cat's litter ? and so on ... By having almost 100% topic revelence, you 'll make sure to cover the entiere topic.

Idk man but I see websites ranking #1 without EM keyword phrase mentioned even once.
 
Exact Match is still a thing. LSI, TFIDF, and others are not new. Exact match should happen at least once (IMO), then relying on semantic understanding and content clusters.
 
1 t0 3% of keyword density along with semantic keywords & LSI keywords with quality of unique content is good.
 
Content quality is important but at the same time keyword density has its value in ranking. 2 to 3% will do good. Place it naturally and don't overdo it.
