Matt, do you analyse the "site-wide keyword density" as an "autority-faktor"?

Thanks for sharing this video, Matt.
I like to add some personal thoughts: in an attempt to achieve some magical keyword density, your webpage will become difficult to read and just looks spammy or unethical. If Google derived webpage relevancy based heavily on keyword density, then all you have to do is repeat your target term over and over. This isn't where the true meaning of the page lies.
Keyword density is a worthless SEO metric. And keyword density tools are a waste of time!
