Keyword Density Tool

Most search engines place a large amount of importance on the actual text that is placed on a web page. As a result, the way that the text on a page is constructed plays an important role in determining the way engines index your site. When building a web site it is important to ensure that your pages contain as much relevant text as possible. Search engines gather keywords from your page contents, and rank your web page based on the keyword density. Keyword density is number of times a word or phrase is counted on a web page. The keywords can appear in the page title, links and headings, as well as text in the page body. Ideally the keyword density should be around 3% for your major keywords.

The keyword density tool checks a webpage and returns a list of keywords from the webpage, along with the density data. To display the keyword density tool, click the Density button in the toolbar.

To start the analysis process, follow these steps:
  1. Enter a webpage URL in the URL field. The density tool only searches the webpage specified, not the entire website.
  2. Select either 1 or 2 from the Minimum Keywords Per Phrase
  3. Select the number of Maximum Keywords Per Phrase, values are from 1 to 4
  4. Select the Minimum Word Character Length, values are 1 to 5
  5. Select the number of Minimum Occurences Per Page, values are 1 to 5
  6. Select Ignore Meta Keywords if you wish to filter out Meta Keywords from the results.
  7. Select Ignore Meta Description if you wish to filter out Meta Description from the results.
  8. Select Use Default Stopword list if you wish to filter out stopwords.
  9. Select the View: option. Combined lists all keywords within one single column. By Keyword Count lists each column by the number of words in the phrase. For example, 1st column will display 1 word phrases, 2nd column will include 2 word phrases and 3rd column, 3 word phrases.
  10. Select the number of results to return from the Results drop down menu
  11. Click the Search button
