Live Keyword Analysis Rules

Search engines use specific rules when calculating keyword density. They ignore words often known as filter words. This calculator tries to mimic the search engines as closely as possible, while keeping in mind that this is not an exact science.

This keyword density analyzer ignores all one and two letter words, as well as the following:

head, html, meta, table, title, and, but, for, from, here, her, his, how, not, than, that, the, them, then, these, they, this, was, were, with.

It is also not case sensitive. It will use part words if they are part of a plural, but won't if the word appears in the middle of another word of a different meaning.

The live keyword analyzer also rounds the percentage. This was done on purpose to simplify life.

You might find some quirks when you are analysing a phrase that contains one of these words. Generally it is best not to target phrases that use these words anyway.

We don't claim that this is ultra precise, but hey, when is search engine optimization ever ultra precise?
