Today we’ll show you several tools that can help you easily count the words on your entire Blog or per webpage.
We were recently in a situation where we needed to count all the words of our publications on our Blog. My partner started to copy and paste our articles one by one to find out how many words were on our Blog! Auch that took a lot of time! Until…
Until my inquisitive mind figured out what my blog partner could have figured out! There are FREE tools available that make the process much easier 🙂
How can I count words on my Blog easily?
We have found several tools so far, and one, in particular, was particularly helpful in counting the words on the entire Blog.
Lucky for us, these are free tools at the time of writing. My blog partner wishes she had found this information earlier!
You’ll find different tools, and this is what they can do for you:
- Usually, they can count the words on one specific URL, but that is a job you can also do if you would copy and paste your text and use any editor to count your words…
- True, but some actually also count keywords which can be very helpful if you are trying to keep track of them for SEO purposes.
- Other tools are more focused on helping you with helpful information within your writing editor.
- However, the big one for us was the tool that could quickly calculate ALL of the words on our Blog and even give a specific word count for all the individual web pages, so we’d like to share this with you before you try to do it manually!
Let’s get into it!
Reasons why having the word count of your blog can be helpful!
Having an idea about how many words are on your Blog can be valuable information to different people for different reasons.
For example:
Understanding your content: If you have ever written hundreds of blog posts, you might have difficulty remembering how many words you’ve written. This can be particularly interesting info if you combine this with the success of your blog post. It can help you understand what length of blog posts your readers prefer.
SEO purposes: Additionally, understanding word counts can also be beneficial from an SEO perspective since search engine algorithms give higher rankings to websites with longer, more comprehensive content.
Website Translation/cost calculation: For us, it was about figuring out how much it would cost to translate our entire Blog into another language!
Whatever your reason is, you’ll be glad to learn it is free and simple to do. We’ll just have to write down our domain name, and a few moments later (perhaps a couple of minutes), the result will be there!
Do these blog word count tools only count individual blog posts, or can they also calculate the entire Blog?
We revealed the answer to this question earlier in the intro, just to let you know you were not going to waste your time here!
You can do both! Certain online tools allow users to view either individual page counts or an overall tally for the entire domain; which one you choose depends entirely upon what type of data you’re looking for.
With great power comes great responsibility! You need to be careful that you don’t blow out your computer or laptop speakers 🙂 –> VOLUME MASTER GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSION is POWERFUL… Not kidding!
