What is Optimal Keyword Density for a general tutorial post? SEO Yoast plugin suggests that keyword density should be less than 2.5%. But I found many webmasters suggest that keyword density may be over 2.5% as it doesn't effect much. Well I am confused here. Suggest me!!

Well it depends on the fact that how you are using your keywords. If they are relevant to the content body then you can exceed the 2.5% limit otherwise not. I usually try to keep my keyword density within 2%.

Keyword density has nothing to do with rankings and its all about how well the content satisfy its target users.

Hello,
Keyword density is the percentage of the number of times a keyword appears on a page divided by the total number of words in that page.
I suggest you that if keyword ranking is less in percentage is better like:-1.3%.

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. ... Today, the overuse of keywords, a practice called keyword stuffing, will cause a web page to be penalized. Many SEO experts consider the optimum keyword density to be 1 to 3 percent.
