About Word Frequency Counter
A word frequency counter is a tool that lists the words in a text by how often they occur. The text is lowercased and split into words, words shorter than the minimum length (3 by default) are dropped, and single words or 2 and 3 word phrases are counted. The percentage is each count divided by the total number of counted words or phrases. Common stop words are not removed, and only the top results (30 by default) are shown.
Also known as: Keyword Density, Keyword Density Analyzer.

Questions about Word Frequency Counter
How is keyword density calculated?
Density is the number of times a word or phrase appears divided by the total number of words or phrases counted, shown as a percentage. Words below the minimum length are excluded from both the count and the total.
Is there an ideal keyword density for SEO?
No fixed figure exists. Google representatives have said that it does not use a target keyword density, and its spam policies warn against keyword stuffing. Use the table to spot unnatural repetition, not to hit a number.
