What Is Keyword Density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears in a text compared to the total number of words. It's calculated with the formula:
Density (%) = (Keyword Count / Total Words) × 100
For SEO, a density of 1–2% is generally considered natural and safe. Higher densities can look like keyword stuffing and may hurt rankings. This tool helps you spot which keywords are over- or under-represented in your content.
Stopwords and N-grams Explained
Stopwords
Stopwords are common words like "the", "and", "is", "at", "which" that appear very frequently but carry little semantic meaning. Filtering them out gives you a clearer picture of the actual keywords that define your content. Our stopword list covers the most common English words.
N-grams
N-grams are contiguous sequences of n words. A 2-gram (bigram) is a two-word phrase like "keyword density". A 3-gram (trigram) is a three-word phrase like "keyword density checker". Analyzing n-grams helps you find common phrases in your text, which is useful for SEO keyword research and content optimization.
Why Use a Keyword Counter?
- SEO optimization: Check keyword density and avoid over-optimization or under-optimization.
- Content analysis: Understand the main topics and themes in any text.
- Writing improvement: Spot repetitive words and diversify your vocabulary.
- Academic research: Analyze word frequency in papers, transcripts, or survey responses.
- Competitor analysis: Paste competitor content to see which keywords they emphasize.
Tips for Using the Keyword Counter
- Start with stopwords removed. This filters out noise and shows you the real keywords.
- Try bigrams and trigrams. Sometimes phrases are more meaningful than single words — like "machine learning" or "content marketing".
- Watch for high-density outliers. If a keyword has a density above 3–4%, consider varying your language.
- Use case-sensitive mode when proper nouns matter (e.g., "Apple" vs "apple").
- Export to CSV for spreadsheet analysis, especially useful for longer documents.
