    Feel free to copy and paste the above HTML code, into a text editor and modify it to suite your needs. The < META> tags should be left intact, just add the text characters accordingly. Use a standard FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program in ASCII text mode to upload your pages to the internet server, and use BINARY mode to transfer any images, ZIP, or PDF files.

Keyword Analyzer
Test URL:
Words to ignore:
Note: Most of the words search engines ignore will already be ignored.
Keyword Analyzer 0.31 script by Ian Rochat of R&R Technologies, Inc.
"Keywords Relevant to Page Content"
    By entering the URL of your page in to the form above, you will be able to see the Top 50 most used words. To ensure a pages popularity among Search Engines, the page TITLE and DISCRIPTION must be relevant to these words! Simply modify your page's text, by adding or replacing words until your keywords best reflect your pages content. Remember, pages with nothing more than images, have NO text for the Search Engines to index! These pages will be placed very low on the search results list!

FONTS
      The interesting thing about fonts is that your computer will only display the fonts the are loaded on it. In other words, if your computer doesn't have the Arial font loaded on it, you will see another font then the one selected in the web page. The font you see will either be the default font, or the default font selected in your browser. The viewers setting, both on the browser and the computers settings alone, can over-ride the font and/or size selected by the Web Page creator. This is a good thing. The ability to over-ride the font and size can make Web Pages easier to read for the vision impaired.
