Keyword Stuffing

by

Keyword stuffing is the practice of putting excessive non-relevant keywords into web pages for the sole purpose to trying to gain search rank for these words that have nothing to do with the content on the page. This practice is, of course, frowned upon by Google. In fact, a site might be penalized for taking part in such practices.

While we all know that keywords rule the world of search results, it is important to optimize pages for readers to find your work. It’s also equally - if not more - important to have valuable content for readers who are looking for more information associated with the keyword that landed them on your webpage.

From Google, here is a little more information about keyword stuffing and how to fix stuffing problems like hidden text or non-relevant alt tags on images.

    you’re keyword stuffing a little bit yourself here aint you.. this post is probably going to rank well on ‘keyword stuffing’ since you mention the phrase quite a lot in your post .. (and right now I’m helping you by mentioning keyword stuffing a few more times ;) )

    this post really doesn’t have much value because it doesn’t give enough information. You should list and explain how to use some keyword density tools so people can avoid stuffing by accident.
