The top 3 nominees were:
1) Kaka (AC Milan)
2) Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
3) Messi (Barcelona)

(Kaka with his golden trophee)

25-yr old Kaka received 444 points in the France Football vote, ahead of Manchester United’s Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo who had 277 and Barcelona’s Argentinian midfielder Lionel Messi placing third with 255 points.

Some Facts About Kaka:

- Born under the name of Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite
- Born in the capital Brasilia, Kaka started off with Sao Paulo before moving to Europe with AC Milan in 2003
- He has been capped 54 times for his country and scored 19 goals
- He was in the Brazilian World Cup squads in 2002 and 2006

The prestigious title of Ballon d’Or was awarded on Sunday to AC Milan’s midfielder, Kaka. Most of us would argue that Ronaldo did far better recently than Kaka and hence deserved that title. But from my point of view both did equally well and I think that Kaka beats Ronaldo because of his sharp and precise goal scoring skills, something which Ronaldo needs to work on more.
But it’s really really a tough decision though since both of them are wonderful players.

So, what are your views? Do you think Kaka deserved that title for 2007? Is Ronaldo better than Kaka?

Definition Of Keyword Density

Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page.

Keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.

 If you repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your site will probably be rejected as an artificial site or spam site. (Spend some time doing some keyword research)

Calculation Of Keyword Density

Keyword density is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given web page.

Example

Suppose you have 100 words on your webpage and you use a certain keyword for five times in the content. The keyword density on that page is got by simply dividing the total number of keywords, by the total number of words that appear on your web page.
So here it is (5 divided by 100 = 0.05). Because keyword density is a percentage of the total word count on the page, multiply the above by 100, that is 0.05 x 100 = 5%

What is the right % To Use For Keyword Density

The accepted standard for a keyword density is between 3% and 5%, to get recognized by the search engines and you should never exceed it.

Remember, that this rule applies to every page on your site. It also applies not just to one keyword but also a set of keywords that relates to a different product or service. The keyword density should always be between 3% and 5%.

Simple steps to check the density

1) Copy and paste the content from an individual web page into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect.

2) Go to the ‘Edit’ menu and click ‘Select All’. Now go to the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Word Count’. Write down the total number of words in the page.

3) Now select the ‘Find’ function on the ‘Edit’ menu. Go to the ‘Replace’ tab and type in the keyword you want to find. ‘Replace’ that word with the same word, so you don’t change the text.

4) When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page.

==> Using the total word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density.

Is there any online Free tool for that same purpose?

To make you say Cheers! The answer is yes! I found this online tool: live keyword analysis tool

When you plan to write about something (applicable to any other article writing or GP Essays) a methodological approach must always be adopted. It can also be applied to an oral presentation of any topic.

This approach consists of a number of steps which are followed in a logical order:

1) STEP 1 – Understanding

You should make yourself understand the topic first! What it really means, what are its full implications..etc

2) STEP 2 – Definition / Introduction

You should first give a brief description or definition of the topic in a clear, simple language.

3) STEP 3 – Classification

You should classify the facts and details of the topic in a logical, coherent form for your reference.
For example:
- Start with a brief background/history of the topic
- present most common facts first (any general opinions that are already known)
- Show the positive aspects then the negative ones if it is a controversial topic

4) STEP 4 – Presentation / Development

You may now present your topic by following the order of details in the classified references/notes you made in STEP 3
- Use clear language
- Avoid complicated expressions
- In case of an oral presentation, pronounce technical terms clearly and slowly to ensure everyone understands
- Use illustrations only when it is necessary to explain
- You may use references to arouse interests
- Entertain with a joke, but never do this if you are not sure
- You may add an emotional touch if you want, but never exaggerate

5) STEP 5 – Conclusion

You can now conclude by:
- giving your opinion
- summarising the main points
- Add any last message (make it a striking and impressive one)

This approach is the hard work, knowledge and experience that I have gained personally while I was a college student some 4 years back. All of my articles on writing is based from my own experiences and insights and I have full trust on what I try to teach or show you and I sincerely hope it will be helpful to you. But I’m not in any means saying that I’m a perfect guy in writing.. but consider my “such type of” articles as a humble attempt of sharing the knowledge that I have gained freely from people whom I consider to have attained wisdom (I will surely and undoubtedly dedicate this Post to my evergreen English Guru aka my English teacher who is by now aged 70yrs old. Sir, you are always in my heart, God Bless!). I hope you liked this article and I will also suggest you to read my previous articles listed below:
1) Writing the GP Essay – Write to convince!
2) How to write good English
3) Writing – The Why And The Essence
