Keyword density
The keyword density is the percental frequency of single keywords or multiple word phrases in the content of a single web page. It is the relation between the count of a keyword or keyphrase and the total number of words or phrases used on a specific page. In the course of the evaluation of a page, search engines are using the density as a clue whether a page is relevant for a given keyword or keyphrase or not. Even though this is only one of many factors for classifying a page, it has a high-impact on the reachable position of a page in the search results. If the keywords or phrases are distributed in the content, the page is potentially ranked on a higher position.
Analyzer / checker tool
Our keyword density analyzer tool is automatically counting the number of occurencies of single and multiple keywords after separating the page content from the html-code. You can use it in two different versions. The first one is a simple bookmarklet written in javascript. This keyword density checker tool is able to analyze the page currently opened in your browser application. Because of the size of the script it will be downloaded from our website automatically after clicking on the bookmark – so you have to be online. After that it will be integrated into the page and after a while a div-layer will be opened where you can see the results the keyword density tool has calculated.

Moreover some meta informations about the current page are displayed. The tool also comes with english and german stopwords which will be filtered before calculating the appropriate density.
