Keyword plays a major role in placing yourself higher in search result. The two important aspect of keyword is :
Keyword density & Keyword placement
What Is a Keyword for SEO?
When You write an article, you try to keep that article searchable for a particular keyword. it can be of one word or two. You use the keyword more then one time in your article. When bots crawl your page , from the density of the keyword, bots determines that this page is useful for users for particular keyword.
How much should be keyword density?
As mentioned keyword stuffing is important , but over doing of keyword stuffing is bad. Though different SEO guru’s have different perceptive and ideas about the density of keys. Though your keyword should not increase more then 5% of your article length. So for a 100 word article you can use your keyword 5 times. Though personally I try to keep it as low as between 3%-5%.
The best idea is experiment with keyword stuffing for your post and see the difference.
What will happen if I stuff my post with keywords?
As said earlier stuffing your article with keyword is a bad idea. Overdoing of keywords makes Google bots realize that you are spamming your post for particular keyword. Google penalize such post and related post. Spider will think that you are trying to trick the system by putting up lots of keywords many times. This might effect your ranking. So be wise when you select the number of keywords selecting for SEO.

Keywords are important in a post, but not always! I’ve many posts which doesn’t even rank in top SERPs and have no competition what so ever to same keywords/phrases.
Getting back link to such keywords may help but still not so sure about it.
Anyway nice article.
