Introduction
Welcome to Xoduszero Keyword Optimization mirror!
The Xoduszero Keyword Optimization mirror site is devoted to researching the effects keyword density and link popularity have on a web site. Using the keyword, Xoduszero, I analyze the affects search engine optimization has on a web site. The mirror was created to reinforce the idea that "content is king" for organic Xoduszero SERPs. My original web site was written to associate Xoduszero with SEO, Optimization or Search Engine Optimization. At the time blog was more relevant to Xoduszero than other terms were. I took my chances with SEO, Xoduszero Keyword Optimization and it paid off. This proves Google weighs keyword relevancy higher than I originally suspected.
Currently this mirror is optimized for the keyword...?
Competitive Analysis
My Xoduszero entry page consists of few high PR back links. The lowest being a PR of 3 and the highest a PR of 7. My theory this that 4 quality back links is better than 50 low quality back links. This theory has changed a little after doing a brief analysis on the current top three Xoduszero SERPs.
For each SERP I analyized how each contestant's content was optimized. Specifically I was interested in keyword density and link popularity.
Keyword Density
The following tables were produced online using a Keyword & Prominence tool. The results for Xoduszero keyword optimization is interesting. REE's blog page has low keyword density, and rather high prominence, which XMICHEAL's webpage has a good balance of the two. This page is ranks very high for prominence and keyword density for the keyword Xoduszero; I intended these results, and borrowed the idea from a keyword benchmark used by poker sites.

For those of you who do not know what prominence is, here are some examples:
- A prominence of 100% will be given to keywords that appear at the beginning of an area.
- If a keyword appears in the middle of an area, the calculated prominencewould be around 50%.
- If the keyword appears at the end of the area, prominence would be 0%.
- If, within an area, a keyword exists at the beginning and is repeated at the end of the area, the prominence would balance and should be nearly 50%.
- If the area consists of multiple heading tags, then this area is treated as a single contiguous area when prominence is calculated.
Link popularity
Link popularity for the top three contenders in the Canadian SEO Competition for the keyword Xoduszero. Since back links are not registering in Google, I am assuming that other search engines are more or less correct. REE's site has been heavily syndicated, as you can view in the table below, his link popularity is over 300. XMICHEAL back links are good, few have high PR thou.
What is Link Popularity?
- The number of sites which link to a particular site. Most search engines use link popularity as a factor in determining the search engine ranking of a web site.
What is SE Saturation?
- Refers to the number of pages indexed by a search engine for any given domain.
