Frequently Asked Questions
What are stop words and should I filter them?
Stop words are common words like 'the', 'is', 'and', 'of', 'to' that appear frequently but carry little meaning. For SEO and content analysis, filtering stop words helps focus on meaningful content words. For literary analysis or writing style study, include them.
Should I use case-sensitive or case-insensitive counting?
Case-insensitive treats 'Word', 'WORD', and 'word' as the same word - use this for general content analysis and SEO. Case-sensitive treats them as different words - use this when case matters, like analyzing code or proper nouns vs. common words.
What is a good keyword density for SEO?
Modern SEO doesn't have a specific density target. Aim for natural use of keywords - if a word appears 2-3% of total words, that's reasonable. Over 5% may be keyword stuffing. Focus on natural writing first, SEO second.
How can I identify overused words in my writing?
Words with surprisingly high frequency (top 10-20 words after filtering stop words) may be overused. If you notice the same descriptive words or verbs repeatedly, consider using synonyms for variety and better readability.
Can this tool analyze multiple documents at once?
Paste all documents into one input to analyze them together as a combined text. For separate analysis of multiple documents, you'll need to process each one individually.
What's the difference between word count and unique words?
Total word count is all words including repeats. Unique words is the number of distinct words (vocabulary size). If you write 'the the the', that's 3 total words but 1 unique word. Higher unique count indicates richer vocabulary.
How does this help with SEO optimization?
See if target keywords appear enough (but not too much), identify related terms that appear naturally, ensure content covers topic comprehensively, and avoid keyword stuffing by checking frequency percentages.
Can I analyze texts in languages other than English?
Yes! The tool counts words in any language. However, stop word filtering is English-specific. For other languages, you'll need to manually review or ignore stop word filtering.
