Are you supporting japanese language with appropriate scoring?

#206907
  • Hello,

    Thank you for your nice plugins.

    I wrote a blog 2 scoring looks impossible.

    #1 Content is 150 words long. Consider using at least 600 words.
    #2 Keyword Density is 17.33 which is high, the Focus Keyword and combination appears 26 times.

    #1, are you really counting words on Japanese? or not fully functioned on this point?
    #2, How about Keyword density on non-english, other language?
    I am not sure Googleor Bing decision, but appropriate keyword density has differences between each language.

    #3, we can use automatic translation, but above 2 points of view, some of the translated contents become, out of the seo scoring, I guess.

    If you have automate modification on translated contents SEO, I think it is your advantage.

    Regards,

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    If WordPress is getting the right count of words, Rank Math should be too.

    However, Japanese words are not counted the same way in other languages and that’s where the discrepancy is coming from.

    This is something we are working on improving. For now, you can disregard the count in Rank Math.

    The score is there only for your reference anyway and doesn’t affect your actual rankings. Treat it only as a to-do list, nothing more. Don’t try to live by it and don’t follow the tests religiously. Actually, some can be turned off using our guide here: https://rankmath.com/kb/disable-seo-content-tests/

    Regarding the keyword density, since the last update, we count the secondary focus keywords towards the keyword density and that might be why you are seeing a higher number there.

    Please check if the primary, as well as the secondary focus keywords, combined, is appearing the number of times displayed in the Keyword Density test.

    Hope this clarifies your point. Please let us know if you have any other questions for us.
    Thank you.

    Dear Mr.Brian,

    Thank you for your answer.
    In short, in Japanese, byte or character count is enough, I think.
    Because our character is not separated by space.
    On my feeling, Scrolling times is important. Too long documents is difficult to read. Depends on readers environments. Smartphone, tablet PC, laptop, etc.

    In good social media ads with a sentence blog with good copywriting, it is enough for SEO. People access the blog, and read valuable contents is the most important. But sometimes we move to gray or black hat way for improving SEO scoring.

    P.S.
    A Japanese user try to obtain scoring 100.

    Hello,

    Nothing, Thanks.

    If your business extend with succcess, I recommend the explain score meaning and some function only works in English.
    And scoring is not so important.
    Because we use free trail at first, non-English user cannot improve rankmath scoring and bored.
    It is not happy for user and rankmath.
    Please check non-english user free trial activities.

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    We understand your concern here and since this is a request that was already submitted earlier, we will go ahead and add a vote to our internal suggestion list regarding this.

    Meanwhile, if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.
    Thank you.

    This is follow up.

    Here is anti long words counts SEO.

    https://note.com/chalk_afi/n/n18bc8a607476#8Crls

    According to this writer, on VOD ads, customer wants to purchase and watch video.
    But most of the user create long words video ads, and most of visitors bored.
    Because they would not like to see leak of the video story.

    They simply know where is this video? fulu? netflix? or amazon(DVD)?

    But long word count is also attractive with keyword density.
    I watched google trends, Some sites are only written in long texts and they are business report sites.

    Honestly speaking, I do not think their report sites are reliable.
    But this maybe the fact of the result of the SEO. They are top ranked without keyword on google trend.

    Keywords density with long words, including many related keyword without word salad, is the top results. But I am notsure their site sales or conversion rate.
    Most of the mobile user would not wants to read long documents then seeking again.
    I guess conversion rate is low.
    However, these are for the limited users such as professionals and resarchers, or phishing site for professionals, it maybe effective for sales or something.

    Most of the useful information is outside of the internet search results.
    Not in public, closed. Not registration online.
    We are in addiction of the search engine.

    SEO is only a tool.
    We stick to long words and many keyworods, then search engine collect searching BIG DATA.
    Searcher cannot find exact information, seeking again and again, means your search leak what you do. It becomes BIG DATA. Useful for marketing etc and they can sell well.
    Winner is the search engine. Thank you for your volunteer slavery searching and SEO activities!

    We need to think users feeling and SEO work experience(writing long words with keyword density).

    Remember our childhood with scoring.

    Teacher is scoring,
    Child do not use score,
    Simply communicate with classmates and evaluate each other.

    Google is SEO scoring,
    Visitor do not use google sore,
    Simply seeking listed on the top on the search results.
    Visitor communicate with site contents and evaluate the site.

    However, mom and clients are addict of the scoring.
    We are fear about them.

    Hello,

    Thank you for sharing those inputs.

    We totally agree with you that SEO is only a tool. The most important factor for search engines is the content. If the content is not well enough, then no SEO tool can make the contents perform well. However, if the content is appealing, then SEO works like a cherry on top.

    As your suggestion is already in our internal suggestions list, if we implement this in the future, we’ll ensure to notify you.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.
