<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.wordcounter.net/" target="_blank">Word Counter</a></span><span style="color: blue;"> </span></span></span></h4>
This tool helps you count the number words and character in your article. Simply place your cursor into the box and begin typing. Word counter will automatically count the number of words and characters as you type. You can also copy and paste a document you have already written into the word counter box and it will display the word count and character numbers for that piece of writing<br />
<br />
In addition, word counter automatically shows you the top 10 keywords and keyword density of the article you're writing. This allows you to know what keywords you use most often and what percentage each is used within the article. This can help you from over-using certain words in your writing and make sure you have the correct keyword distribution.<br />
