Word Stuffing & Key Word Density
-
I have read many articles about keyword stuffing and density. What precentage of your webpage should the keyword density be as I am a bit concenred that I will get a warning from google about keyword stuffing.
Lets say I have a website selling books, it is only natural for the keyword book to show up as a high precentage.
All advice appreciated.

From what I've read, there's no hard answer on a percentage. I've heard recommendations to keep it around 5% to optimize but under 10% for stuffing purposes.
Aside from using tools to analyze the content, you can usually tell a lot just from reading. If a page is stuffed with keywords, it's not too hard for a human to tell.

I was with the same difficult - what is key word stuffing for google? And I didn't found a black and white answer. There is a lot of "i think", and with this answer you will need to create your "i think".
First, there was in Q&A a very good answer for that from Ryan Kent, you will fount it here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/stuffing-keywords-into-urls
Second, you should use the schema.org to define more detailed your website. So, if work with products, you can define via schema your product name, description and so on. This might be not considered in keyword stuffing for google.
Third, use your judment. Its always the best solution.
Fourth, if you find the answer, please let me know....

Exact Long Tail Keyword Wording?
Hi everyone! I'm currently doing long tail keyword research and I'm coming across keywords such as deer wall print for nursery for the main keyword "deer wall print" which doesn't really incorporate too well into a into a grammatically correct paragraph. Can I use something like **deer wall print for your nursery **or deer wall print is perfect for in a nursery? Does it have to be exact reproduction if I am trying to rank for a long tail keyword term/phrase?

'And' vs '&'
Hi everyone This question has been running through my mind since a few days now. Does Google recognise 'and' / '&' as the same? Say for example my website url is: appleandorange.com and my keyword for my company is Apple & Orange. If i Focus on Apple & Orange for on-page SEO will google also recognise apple and orange ? Or will I have to on-page SEO seperately for Apple and orange? So for instance if I keep focusing on Apple & Orange will my website appleandorange.com appear on google? Thanks in advance

Filler words like "for" in keyword phrase
Hey, I wonder what the effect of filler words like "on" or "for" is when I try to rank for a certain phrase. Here is an example, lets say i try to rank for "best apps iphone" but the grammatically correct usage in the headline or text is "best apps for iphone". Is there any difference or should I use the exact keyword without "for"? Thanks!

How reliable is GWT's keyword data & what is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for?
I have been monitoring the query data (keywords, average position, CTR, etc.) in GWT, but sometimes the ranking data seems off. I filter the dates for the past week, so it is the most recent. I manually check some of the rankings and they are way off. Does anyone have feedback on this? If you have access to multiple domain data, that would be great. What is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for? I have also used keywordspy, and that is off too!

SEO for compound word derivatives
Our company offers services for nonprofit organizations and we are finding that "non profit" and "nonprofit" are both used very frequently in search queries. I suspect Google will treat the two variations similarly but am looking for something more concrete than my anecdotal experience. How does Google treat compound words that are commonly searched for as multiple words? Any suggestions on resources or tests to find a concrete answer for "nonprofit"?
