Frequently Asked Questions
What is word frequency analysis?
Word frequency analysis counts how many times each word appears in a text. It's a fundamental technique in text mining, computational linguistics, and SEO. By identifying the most frequent words, you can understand the main topics of a text, find overused words, or identify keyword density for search engine optimization.
How is keyword density calculated?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a word appears relative to the total number of words. For example, if "marketing" appears 10 times in a 500-word text, the density is (10 / 500) ร 100 = 2%. For SEO, a keyword density of 1-3% is generally recommended โ too low and search engines may not notice, too high and it may be flagged as keyword stuffing.
What are stop words and should I filter them?
Stop words are common words like "the", "is", "at", "which", and "on" that appear frequently in any text but carry little semantic meaning. Filtering them helps you focus on meaningful keywords. However, if you're analyzing sentence structure or style, you may want to keep them. Toggle the "Filter stop words" option based on your analysis goals.
What does the distribution bar show?
The distribution bar provides a visual representation of each word's frequency relative to the most common word. The longest bar represents the most frequent word, and other bars are scaled proportionally. This makes it easy to spot patterns at a glance โ for example, if one keyword dominates or if frequencies are evenly distributed.
