Webpage Word Count

A client wanted me to add EVEN MORE content to their homepage; just a couple of paragraphs but nonetheless adding to the number of words on their important front page.

You see, they always ADD articles but do not have the good housekeeping habit of removing the OLD ones, so their page just grows and grows.

As a professional webmaster & content manager it's my job to deal with these things, to keep pages trim and fresh. As an SEO guy it's also my job to ensure that pages are succinct and keyword rich, not too much though.

So all this adding of MORE words to the homepage made me wonder... what's the homepage word count now?

I couldn't remember my password for www.ranks.nl's keyword density & prominence analyzer, which gives you keyword/keyphrase counts, keyword/keyphrase density and keyword/keyphrase prominence, not to mention word counts etc etc...

So I did a quick search and found a simple alternative tool...
