keyword density tools? hasn't it been proven over and over again that it isn't a useful metric?

@DarkMatter ,They can be useful at times. Its just like metatags, if you do a quick analysis, at least you can see what other people think are important. Not that you have to spend days doing keyword density analysis.

I personally like to use them before doing on-page optimization to get a quick idea of what the pages can be optimized for before going through the content.

@DarkMatter, I knew it :) I did use the word "keyword prominence" on purpose and emphasized that those tools were good for checking keyword usage in title and meta tags, alt text, headings, etc

Besides, like SEOHolicc correctly pointed out, kwd density can be used for diagnostics perposes (to get an idea which words were used more often throughout the page).
