What is it?
A word frequency counter tallies each distinct word in a text. Coupled with a stop-word filter, it surfaces the topic-bearing vocabulary - the words that actually carry the meaning of the piece. It's the simplest form of text statistics, used by linguists, SEO writers and content strategists.
When to use it
Spot-checking the keyword balance of a piece of SEO content. Finding the over-used phrase in a draft. Auditing reading-level for a target audience. Comparing two articles for vocabulary overlap. Building a vocabulary list for language learning.
Common mistakes
Forgetting that stop-word filtering removes 'the' but not 'they' - very different word, similar stem. Treating the percentages as keyword density for SEO without normalising for content length. And reading too much into single-occurrence words: noise at the bottom of any frequency table.
FAQ
- Which stop words are filtered?
- The common articles, conjunctions and pronouns of English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese - the words that swamp any frequency table without adding meaning.
