# Viewing articles

You can view any article generated by RankYak by clicking on it. This opens the
full article page, where you can read the content, check important details, and
review helpful metrics that show the article's quality and structure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


📄 ARTICLE CONTENT

At the top of the page, you'll see a short summary of the article. This gives
you a quick understanding of what the article is about without needing to read
the entire piece.



Below the summary, you can view the full article, exactly as RankYak has written
it. This is where you can read through the content, check the structure, and
review how the topic is covered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


📊 ARTICLE SCORE

On the right-hand side of the page, you'll find the article score. This score is
based on many different SEO signals and best practices. It gives you a general
idea of how strong the article is from an SEO perspective.



A lower score does not necessarily mean the article is bad. In some cases,
shorter or more concise articles perform better for certain keywords, which
naturally leaves less room for SEO elements, this can slightly lower the score
without affecting ranking potential.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


🔑 KEYWORD & METRICS

Under the score, you'll see the keyword the article was written for, along with
its keyword metrics (search volume and difficulty). These help you understand
the ranking opportunity of the article.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


📐 ARTICLE METRICS

Below the keyword information, you'll find additional article metrics,
including:

 * Word count: The amount of words (variable and based on top SERP-results)

 * Number of headings: The number of heading elements

 * Number of paragraphs: The number of paragraphs

 * Keyword density: How much percentage of the total text is the keyword

 * Internal links: The number of links to pages on your website

 * External links: The number of links to pages of other websites

These metrics give you an at-a-glance overview of the article's structure and
depth.

🔧 ACTIONS

At the bottom of the right sidebar, you'll find useful actions. If the article
has already been published, you'll see a View button. Clicking it will open the
live article on your website.
