Keyword density helper application idea

With all the keyword-related tools, I've never seen one that would do this

[MatthewHSE]

I've read various references that say how and when to use your keywords in an article. For instance, within the first five words, and about every seventy-five words thereafter, etc. While most of these references vary in their recommendations for keyword density, they all agree that keyword density is an important thing to remember when writing articles.

So why not have a word-processor application for writing SE-friendly articles? You could set a preference for how often a keyword should appear. The program would then begin highlighting words leading up to when a keyword should come - say five words in different colored type on each side of the "optimal" keyword location.

Icing on the cake would be a final keyword density analysis, and perhaps other similar tools.

Does something like this exist? If not, I'll bet one of the geniuses here could pick up a small chunk of change by building such an application and selling it! ;)

Hmmmmm....(scurries off to open MS Visual C++)

It's not a bad idea. Maybe a Word plugin, kind of like Reference Manager...that shouldn't be too hard to write up. Maybe next month when I have more time I'll take up a new project.

I'd buy it

Keyword density is not a major factor in Google. People spend way to much worrying about kw density. It might help you with a very obscure term with no real competition but not with anything else. As far as I'm concerened an app like that is about as useful as a se submission tool. A busy box if you will. If you ever speak to an SEO and that is the first thing they talk about or emphasize it in any way stay away they are amatures.

True, but:

a) It would be fun to write
b) It would probably sell; how many people really understand the concept of SEO, and how many people attempt to learn it everyday, make the same mistakes, and move on

Oh quite true the se submission people make a bundle off of ignorance.
