    it is a black hat SEO

    What I'm referring to here is when people throw in thousands of the same exact keyword into
    their meta tags.
    For example, the following website is trying to rank well for "tents".
    <META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="tents, TENTS, Tents, tents tents tent supplies,
    tents, tents tent, tent, Tent, TENTS, tents, Tents,tents, TENTS, Tents, tents tents tent supplies,
    tents, tents tent, tent, Tent, TENTS, tents, Tents,tents, TENTS, Tents, tents tents tent supplies,
    tents, tents tent, tent, Tent, TENTS, tents, Tents,tents, TENTS, Tents, tents tents tent supplies,
    tents, tents tent, tent, Tent, TENTS, tents, Tents tents, TENTS, Tents, tents tents tent supplies,
    tents, tents tent, tent, Tent, TENTS, tents, Tents">
    This is obviously ridiculous. Google doesn't use Meta Tags when ranking websites. Google
    WILL penalize it, but it WILL NOT help you... so, why would anyone do something like this?
    Stay away from it.


    The title is what appears in the top left hand corner of your webpage. Below is an example of
    Title Tag Stuffing
    <title>TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|TENTS|</title>


    Don't do it...
    You only need to include your keyword(s) one time in your title tag. Anymore than 1 time will
    only dilute the effect, and if you overdo it as shown above, you may get banned.

    When same keyword is used repeatedly and many of the keywords are used in the single statement then it is known as Keyword Stuffing

    Keyword stuffing is considered to be an unethical search engine optimization (SEO) technique. Keyword stuffing occurs when a web page is loaded with keywords in the meta tags or in content. The repetition of words in meta tags may explain why many search engines no longer use these tags.

    Keyword stuffing had been used in the past to obtain maximum search engine ranking and visibility for particular phrases. This method is completely outdated and adds no value to rankings today. In particular, Google no longer gives good rankings to pages employing this technique.

    Use of so many keywords on a page or in a sentence , known as keyword stuffing. When one want the fast result then they use this technique and this technique provide the positive result also but not for long term. Keyword stuffing is consider as blackhat method of seo and any blackhat method be harmful for the site, and when google find any site using this method , it penalised or banned the site.

    hi,
    Keyword Stuffing means overloading your content with all sets of keywords possible for your particular site.

    keyword stuffing reduces your site value or it may also be said that keyword stuffing reduces the pagerank of your site.

    A SEO technique used by Web designers to overload keywords onto a Web page so that search engines will read the page as being relevant in a Web search. Because search engines scan Web pages for the words that are entered into the search criteria by the user, the more times a keyword appears on the Web page the more relevancy the search engine will assign to the page in the search results.
    here are several methods of keyword stuffing. One way is to insert repeating keywords within the input type="hidden" field meta tag or the keyword tag so that the keywords are not seen by the user but are scanned by the search engine. Another way is to make text in the body of the Web page invisible text, or hidden text, by making the text the same color as the page??s background, rendering the text invisible to the user unless the user highlights the text. This method is called invisible keyword stuffing or .

    Keyword stuffing also is referred to as keyword loading and spamdexing.

    Google only allows 10 keywords per page. normally 15 keywords per page is Ok. More than these number of keywords per page is considered as keyword stuffing. There is one more common mistake leads to keyword stuffing. "Extensive Repetition of Word" is also considered as keyword stuffing.
