Ever wondered what would happen if you ran classic literature through an SEO tool? Me, too!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve got a sweet spot for tools that give me an idea of how I\u2019m doing as a search marketer and content publisher. One test of an SEO tool\u2019s power is if the software can do the job of a careful human expert in a fraction of the time.<\/p>\n
The following experiment details what happened when an SEO tool meets F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s \u201cThe Great Gatsby.\u201d<\/strong> While it was devised in fun and out of true curiosity, it ended up being a real-life study of SEO tools at work, worth sharing.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a writer at digital marketing agency Bruce Clay, Inc., and I\u2019m also an avid reader. Literature lovers like me can spend hours picking apart themes and character dynamics. SEO analysis, meanwhile, should be as efficient as possible with time and resources. Can an on-page analyzer tell me:<\/p>\n If a tool can accomplish that with a piece of literature, then it can certainly analyze a web page for appropriate language and SEO relevance. I used a free tool, the SEOToolSet’s Single Page Analyzer<\/a>, and much to my delight, the SEO tool was able to peg character relationships, point to the theme of this American classic, and crunch 46,000 words in a fraction of the time a person requires. Super sweet.<\/strong><\/p>\n Fair warning: Yes, there are some spoilers for \u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d but nothing that will keep you from enjoying the book \u2013 or Baz Luhrmann\u2019s recent cinematic stunner. (Highly recommended, by the way.)<\/p>\nThe Setup<\/h2>\n
