Is there a tool that will "grade" content?

[RScime25]

Does anybody know of a tool that can "grade" content for Panda compliance. For example, it might look at:

• the total number of words on the page

• the average number of words in sentences

• grammar

• spelling

• repetitious words and/or phrases

• Readability—using algorithms such as:

• Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease
• Flesch Kincaid Grade Level
• Gunning Fog Score
• Coleman Liau Index
• Automated Readability Index (ARI)

For the last 5 months I've been writing and rewriting literally 100s of catalog descriptions—adhering to the "no duplicate content" and "adding value" rubrics—but in an extremely informal style. I would like to know if I'm at least meeting Google Panda's minimum standards.

Yoast dose a excellent job and it similar to scribe content however I do not believe that they are on the same level. For content creation this is my opinion and I'm basing it on the ability to integrate with social media and many other abilitys scribe has that WordpressSEO dose not yoast has some of the http://www.linkdex.com/about/features/ but not all If you look at what linkdex actually can do it is much more similar to scribe when outside of the plug-in and used fully then inside the plug-in where does the next one job for free plug-in it's the best for a free plug in. I think raven tools choice to use Scribe speaks volumes and I do agree with you scribe three was not very good. However scribe four is much different and better tool I hope you'll take a look at it if you have not seen it since scribe three. I completely understand your point and some people like Pepsi others like Coke in out. That both excellent tools and I would recommend them both to anybody using WordPress over you can use scribe without WordPress. But anybody doing content creation I believe should use one of these tools. Yes there is a cost incurred with scribe and I do believe it's worth it. Sincerely, Thomas

Hi Matt, I did not mean to imply that you were wrong about a way to check for grammar it seemed that you did not stress that once it was corrected in Word that somebody would do the Next most rational thing and copy and paste from work there was no warning to tell them do not just copy and paste the corrected version back into their website. I simply wanted to let them know that that was not something they could do with Microsoft Word. I did not Mean to come off sounding like I did after reading it just now. I am no way was trying to suggest that you did not understand the right or wrong way to do this. I was simply saying this so that it Encoding issues to the text would not occur when the person asking the question use Microsoft Word if they do use Microsoft Word. I am sorry that the post sounded like it was trying to correct you. It was definitely not meant to sound that way. And you are right every way however I would've added the disclaimer that they should have used something else when copying and pasting to the actual website. Sincerely, Thomas

I didn't suggest copying from Word into Wordpress.  I suggested the opposite - do a final spell check, word count, etc. in Word by copying into Word.

You can add plugins and such, browser add ons and whatnot but it seems to me that for a 700 word article, it would be pretty simple to check spelling, fix a couple words and update the post.

To "grade" content, it's a big difference if they are using Wordpress or not so I gave the best Wordpress answer I can.  If not, obviously that's not an option.  Scribe is great but a bit over the top to pay for something that Yoast does easily enough.

Matt,

You should never copy and paste directly from Microsoft Word into WordPress or any HTML document meant for the web

as talked about here by Microsoft

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/control-the-formatting-when-you-paste-text-HA010215708.aspx

And here by a well-known WordPress blog

http://awe.sm/s01DM

I have not been told rather not he uses WordPress so I have been giving tools that work on it and don't work on it once again I believe proof bot as seen below is the best answer for spelling and grammar

If you're using Wordpress, then Yoast's SEO plugin does most of this.  It grades based on a keyword (you can change the focus keyword a couple times if you need to check a few phrases.)  It does keywords on page, reading level, etc.  It also tells you whether you've over-used a keyword.  It's not as much a grammar checker (you may find it easiest to quickly copy & paste your content into Word for a spelling/grammar, word count check.)

WordPress SCO

Scribe started out 3 years ago as simple SEO copywriting software that made one huge promise – to constantly evolve as the search engines did. Now, in the post-Panda/Penguin world, Scribe has become powerful content marketing software that takes into account that great search rankings are a lucrative result that comes from great, audience-optimized content and social media exposure. Scribe’s content + social + search approach makes it absolutely one-of-a-kind. Our patent-pending algorithms and our continued commitment to constantly evolve the service ensure this will remain the case. Take a look at what Scribe can do. Then, take Scribe on a risk-free test drive today. Scribe delivers the exact content marketing process that helped Copyblogger evolve from a simple blog into a software company with 100,000+ customers – and it will work for your business, too. What languages does Scribe support? Currently, Scribe works in the English language only. We are working toward upgrading Scribe to support other languages in the future. How does the money-back guarantee work? When you log in to your Scribe account after subscribing, you’ll see a top navigation option labeled Cancel My Account on each and every page. Click that link anytime to end your subscription, and you’ll never be charged again. Next, if cancelling during your first 30 days, ask for your money back on the very same page, and we’ll promptly return your money. What’s an evaluation? An “evaluation” is the term we use to describe each analysis of content using Scribe. Each time you analyze your pages or overall site content mix via the Scribe optimization algorithm, one evaluation is used. Typically, it takes between 3 to 5 evaluations to fully optimize a page, although you will get more efficient the more you use Scribe. So, taking a conservative perspective, this is how each Scribe plan works out as far as amount of content optimized per month: Professional: 300 evaluations a month (around 75-100 pages or posts)Agency: 900 evaluations a month (around 180-300 pages or posts)Enterprise: Varies according to each custom planWhat’s included with my subscription? You get Scribe Web (with export, import, and publishing to WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal), plus the integrated Scribe for WordPress, and all future platforms and updates to each as long as you’re subscribed.You get technical support through the myScribe system.You get ongoing content marketing and SEO ebooks, webinars, and other educational resources that help you get even more out of Scribe.I am a custom application developer, do you have an API? Yes, our API supports most web service protocols including SOAP. Please contact us here if you are interested in using our API for your custom application. What’s required to use Scribe? Scribe Web is completely turn-key – we provide you a username and password when you subscribe. Once you’re logged in you can do research, content optimization, relationship and link building all from one place, then publish your content with the push of a button to WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla. You can also generate customizable optimization reports for clients with a click. Scribe for WordPress requires our plugin (provided) and WP version 2.8.4 and later, plus the ability to enter a custom title tag and meta description. There are many WordPress themes and SEO plugins that allow you to enter a title tag and meta description, including the free All in One SEO Pack. You check out all Scribe compatible themes and plug-ins here. Does Scribe Support Joomla? Scribe for Joomla is available from JoomlaShowroom and is compatible with Joomla 2.5. Please note that while they have done an excellent job of integrating Scribe into Joomla, we do not directly support this plugin, but we do encourage you to use it for Joomla. Where can I go for technical support? Scribe subscribers have access to our online support helpdesk system at MyScribe, where you’ll be able to submit a ticket to our dedicated support team. Does Scribe work on WordPress.com? Unfortunately, Scribe is not compatible with WordPress.com (the hosted version of WordPress provided by Automattic). This is because WordPress.com does not provide users with the ability to install third-party plugins, which is required for the Scribe API to provide you with our service. Your best bet is to use the free WordPress.org software with your own hosting provider. We recommend Synthesis managed WordPress hosting. What if I need more evaluation credits? Customers can upgrade their account by sending a support ticket. If you require a custom-tailored package with more flexibility, wholesale pricing, or API integration, we offer enterprise plans that can be built to your exact specifications. Can I use Scribe on multiple websites? Yes, your API key allows you to use Scribe to optimize content on as many websites as you’d like. Our license is by content evaluations and keyword searches performed and not by the number of websites. Do you have an Affiliate Program? Yes, we certainly do. Find out more here. HELP! I still have questions! No worries. Contact us here, we’re happy to help.

ScribeContent.com does much more than I need. After viewing the video and digging into the guts of the site, I believe it is more of an SEO tool—plus, I didn't notice anything at all about Panda.

[RScime25]

Hmmm . . . Seems more than a bit pricey, but I might take 'er out for a spin if I can't find a more reasonably-priced one.

Thanks.

http://scribecontent.com/
