Keyword Density Analyzer

Search engines have density sweet spots where when the density of a keyword or phrase on a page falls between an ideal range and the text is tagged as relevant to searches for that term. Modern search engines employ natural language processing tools such as stemming, or the stripping of plurality, tense, possessive, etc. to leave only the word stem; and latent semantic indexing that shows relationships between words that occur together often on the web. These tools allow search engines to recognize that a page about cars that mentions the word automobiles is more relevant to a search for cars than a page about cars that never contains the keyword automobile. Search engines are also interested in showing only useful, relevant content instead of strings of useless keywords so various grammatical calculations are probably being done to tag organic or natural pages with noun and verb densities in a normal range.

A keyword density analyzer is an optimization tool that reads the text of a given URL and analyzes the words and phrases that are used on that web page. It then analyzes each keyword and key phrase to find their densities, or how much of the total text is the keyword or phrase. Advanced density analyzers will include word stemmers and part of speech tagging software to further analyze the text to show the noun, verb and stem densities of the content. The stem analyzer enhances the traditional keyword density analyzer by showing an additional keyword labeled stem the density value for this term represents the amount of total text that is the word stem or a variation. The noun and verb density analyzers allow you to make sure that your page has roughly normal grammatical characteristics.

Our keyword density analyzer is one of the few (if any) SEO tools on the web that uses natural langauge processing software to generate a verb density, noun density, stopword ratio and word-stem density report for the page you supply it. Modern search engines don't use the same keyword density analysis they did in '94... why should our seo tools? It is becoming more and more obvious that the search engines are weighting word stem matches in thier SERPs, in fact some pages are being ranked for terms that do no appear on the page, whereas only a stemmed variation of the word does.

Other SEO Tools:

Link Popularity Tool

Search engines view a link from website ?a? to website ?b? as a vote by ?a? for ?b?, therefore the pages with the most votes in a topical niche are the authorities on the subject. This means that search engine spiders visit pages with lots of relevant incoming links more often and they rank higher in the result pages. A link popularity development campaign is the process of gathering the email addresses of webmaster who control link pages on related websites and contacting them to either suggest they link to your website in a one way link, or that you both link to each other in a reciprocal link. Both the topic matter of the websites and the actual text of the incoming links that point to your website are important to ranking well.

Link popularity tools help you manage the process of finding relevant links pages, gather the email addresses of the webmasters and sending the emails. Some popularity tools also aid the process of setting up and managing a reciprocal links page on your site to link back to your link partners. It is important to remember that whichever tool you use, if you use one, you must tray to make every email as personal as possible; no one likes to receive form emails. AutoLinksPro is a decent desktop link popularity managment tool.

Keyword Research Tool

In order to boost your traffic through search engine optimization you need to know what terms users search for most frequently, this is the first step and all other SEO work is based on the keywords list you develop in this step using keyword research tools. There is one free tool available on the web from a major provider that provides actual numerical data about how many people search for various search terms. That tool is Overture?s keyword suggestion tool, built for potential advertising customers the numbers and the keywords are heavily edited and are often quite inaccurate. The interface is also quite limited.

The other option and the only one chosen by professional SEOs is WordTracker. WordTracker is a subscription based keyword research tool that allows you to view real numbers and keywords from two large Meta search engines, Dogpile and Metacrawler. Membership is cheap, under $10 a day, and you can join for as little as a day. This is plenty of time for you to gather your keywords and email them to yourself using the easy interface.

Meta Tag Generator

Even though meta tags are declining in their usefulness they are still a good idea for some of the smaller search engines that still rely heavily on them. A meta tag generator is a software tool that creates the html for all the various meta tags with your keywords in it, some tools do this automatically by scanning each page to find the most important keywords and some tools ask you to input your desired keywords.

Ranking Software

Most search engine optimization campaigns are made up of lots of keywords, so to monitor how your website ranks in various search engines for each keyword or key phrase you can use ranking software. Some search engines do not recommend the use of automated tools for ranking checking, but I have never heard of a problem arising from the use of ranking software. These tools track a list of keywords through multiple search engines to compile a history of where your website ranks.
