I am wondering what the best way to approach this problem is. I want to gather the most meaningful keywords from a website. I'm currently parsing the text from a normal html file from the net with the HTML Parser module and am using the Lingua EN Fathom module to keep track of word occurrences. I'm wondering is this the best way to approach this problem? I want to find the relevant keywords so I will be able to categorize the page. For example if the page is from espn.com about baseball, I could gather the keywords and depending on how I setup the algorithm have it determine which category is best, and label it as a sports page. I don't need help with actually assigning the website to a category, I just need to find out what the best way is to determine meaningful keywords from a website. Thanks.
