    Hi Paddy,

    Your Keywords are absolutely critical for the search engines and therefore your rankings. If you don't place them correctly or don't use them how do the "bots" know what your page is about.

    Regards

    Prominence is how close to the start of the area that the keyword appears.If a keyword appears at the beginning of an area, its prominence will be 100%.If a keyword appears in the middle of an area, its prominence will be 50%.

    Google gives the more importance in terms of making a keyword bold or italic.

    Its sound technical and I can’t clearly understand due my English skill. In simple word, can I say Keyword Prominence as keyword positioning? If yes, then I agree that keyword should be located properly start from the first to last paragraph.

    Relevant keywords are very crucial for rankings. After all, it's these keywords that people input and search with in the search engines. And if you've done your optimization right, then your site should pop up at the top of the SERPs when there keywords/key phrases are keyed in. So be sure to put optimize each page around a major relevant keyword (and have some related keywords working along with it as well). Put your keyword(s) in your title, subtitles, sprinkled throughout your content, in your alt tags, metatags and so on. This will take you a long way in the SERPs. Also if you want to optimize even more, then consider getting 'exact match' keyword domain names.

    Post Re:

    According to me Keyword prominence is placing your keywords close to the beginning of sentences and paragraphs. As with adding your keywords often but retaining the readability of your content, basically placing your keywords at the beginning of your content won't work. Your keyword prominence must slot in your content making sense to the reader and basically flow with the remainder of the containing content.

    It is to show prominent placement of keywords in a webpage...
    general recommendation is to place important keywords at, or near, the start of a web page, sentence, TITLE or META tag...

    Keyword Prominence – Keyword prominence is the location or placement of a given keyword in a web page. The higher the position of a keyword in the page, the more prominent it is which means that search engines give more weight to that particular term. It is best to include your keywords in the first paragraph of the content of your site. This concept also applies to the location of important keywords within individual HTML tags, such as heading tags, title tags, or hyperlink text.

    Keyword prominence is a priority of a keyword means which keyword is more important for a website. You are suggesting a title tag for a website then most important keyword should be on first position and so on.
