Many sites have sitemaps that points at the pages of a website. It would be great if this service could use the sitemaps to know which pages to scan for words. This would resolve problems currently present for duplicate pages being counted etc.

And example sitemap is located at http://www.themodernnomad.com/sitemap.xml

This would allow quick creation of the offer and manual adjustment for duplicated content.

Asking for a count of eg. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/finland/helsinki follows all sorts of random links throughout the domain, which makes the results useless. Being able to restrict it to subpages only (URLs starting with /finland/helsinki) would be much more useful. See also: http://www.webwordcount.com/count.php?u=Xyffba3j#

When you enter a website, it takes quite a long time to load. This would be fine, if we at least had an idea of how long it would take or how many percent of the website text will be analyzed. The little round loading thing just keeps going round and round.

If I have to check duplications manually then please allow me to tick a check box and exclude a page from the total.

It currently reads 'WebWorldCount'.

Great site, thanks.

Hi all,
1. explain the users better how the service work
2. why it doesn't work
3.how auser could get the full report...i'm waiting since a month

Let me know

I've come across what seems to be a bug while counting the words for www.rasa-lila.nl. The site has a menu nav in the footer, and all the links from that menu end up stuck together, where there should be at least a space between each menu item to enable words to be properly counted. Site says it's using a Thematic theme. Sample page: www.rasa-lila.nl/website/lessen/danslessen/zumba/ Thanks for the great tool!

like "user+wordcount@example.com". It's perfectly valid, and I won't use your service without it.

the service looks great!

Used your site to check my own website but there was a glaring spelling error on results page - the link to send to a "freind" should read "frIEnd". As it happens I am a freelance proofreader! http://www.bullet-proofreading.co.uk

Why would you offer translation services to translators who wants to assess a website? I found that quite suspicious.
Not sure a translator would use your website if they knew upfront that you are offering translation services as well.

http://www.webwordcount.com/count.php?u=3xXMHwpr something wrong. At bottom all pages showing same numbers.

Count all the pages.

Hi. This is an awesome program. It helped me find bad links. But, when I redirected the links it then counted the redirect page. :(
Cheers
