Thanx
1) I think you have answered your question

"The keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page compared to the total number of words on the page."

Hence, this refers to one page of a site only. No doubt, you can find out the keyword density of the whole site also, however, keyword density of a web page is mostly considered :rolleyes:

2) Well, when it comes to keyword density, you will get different opinions from webmasters :o According to my experience, the keyword density of a web page should be 5-7%. Basically, the web page should appear normal and natural to readers as well as search engines which will give you better rankings
