Reading the ranking
Words are lowercased, counted, and listed from the most common down. The percentage is the share of the whole document, and the bar is drawn against the leader rather than against 100:
share = count / total words x 100
bar = count / count of the top word
a keyword used 8 times in a 500-word article -> 1.60%Nothing is filtered out first. In English that means the first several rows are always the, and, to, of, which together account for more than a tenth of ordinary English, and your real subject starts around rank six. That is the correct denominator for keyword density, which is conventionally kept near 1-2%, but it does mean reading past the function words every time.
What the list quietly hides
- Nothing is stemmed. run, runs and running hold three separate rows, so a theme you have written about heavily can look thin. Add the rows up by hand.
- Digits count as words. A year is one word and 3.5 is two, so a price list or a table of figures pushes numbers into the top ten.
- Apostrophes and hyphens split. don't becomes don and t, and e-commerce becomes e and commerce, which is worth knowing before you trust a brand name's count.
- Equal counts keep their first-appearance order, so the order among tied words is not alphabetical and carries no meaning.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density?
Roughly 1 to 2 percent, which is 5 to 10 uses in a 500-word page. Above about 3 percent the repetition is audible to a reader, and that is the real reason to avoid it.
Why is "the" the most frequent word in my text?
Because no stopwords are removed here - the count is of everything you wrote. For a list with the common words already stripped out, use the Word Cloud Generator.
What is the difference between total and unique words?
Total counts every word as it occurs; unique counts distinct spellings. Write dog five times and total rises by five while unique rises by one.
