You don't need a high density but it does help a lot to have those words there - and H2 and/or anchor text is a great way to go. I have some sites that I want to brand but other sites that are not good branding candidates and there I go simply for SERP performance. But, if you do have a recognizable brand then it is sometimes actually an optimization for CTR by including it - so it accomplishes two goals. Hello Coburn,

Yes, everyone here is presuming it, if a newby reads this thread they would not know about it. Randfish - surprised at your emphasis on branding. Can't help wondering how much SERP sacrifice you'll incur by placing your brand kw phrase 1st on most content pages for eg. Also - have you measured any differences in CTR between characters "|" and "-"? EGOL – #4 kw density on pg – w/o this, #1 won’t happen.

Get the quick hit on great anchor text mixing and whatnot, then try to look official afterwards :) I like giving some things long randomish names to force people to mix up the anchor text, and then sometimes later renaming them to shorter useful more brandable names.
