FAQs
What is a good keyword density?
For SEO, most experts recommend a keyword density between 1% and 2%. Anything higher than 3-4% might be flagged as spam (keyword stuffing) by search engines.
What are stop words?
Stop words are common words like "the", "and", "is", "at" that appear frequently but carry little meaning. Search engines often ignore them when analyzing content.
How is word frequency calculated?
Word frequency is calculated by counting each unique word and dividing by the total word count. For example, if "SEO" appears 5 times in 100 words, its frequency is 5%.
Should I ignore stop words for SEO analysis?
Yes, ignoring stop words gives you a more accurate picture of meaningful keyword usage. Enable this option to focus on content-rich words that matter for SEO.
How can word frequency analysis improve my writing?
Identifies overused words, checks vocabulary diversity, finds filler words (very, really, just), detects repetitive phrases, measures readability. Aim for: variety in sentence starters, balanced word choices, minimal repetition. Use synonyms for frequently repeated words.
What is a good vocabulary diversity score?
Type-Token Ratio (TTR): Unique words / Total words. Good: >0.6 for short texts, >0.4 for long texts. Academic writing: 0.5-0.7. Creative writing: 0.6-0.8. Lower = more repetition. Context matters: technical writing may have legitimate repetition.
