    Keyword stuffing occurs when a web page is loaded with keywords in the meta tag or in content,it comes under black hat SEO because keyword stuffing is an unethical manner of doing SEO.

    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.

    hello, its really nice information guys. nut I think there are various types of styles for keyword writing. Today most of search engines use so many other factors, such as how many sites link to the page in question, that keyword density is not so important.

    Keyword stuffing, mentioned earlier in this chapter, is the practice of loading your web pages with
    keywords in an effort to artificially improve your ranking in search engine results. Depending on
    the page that you’re trying to stuff, this could mean that you use a specific keyword or keyphrase a
    dozen times or hundreds of times.

    Temporarily, this might improve your page ranking. However, if it does, the improvement won’t last,
    because when the search engine crawler examines your site, it will find the multiple keyword uses.
    Because search engine crawlers use an algorithm to determine if a keyword is used a reasonable number of times on your site, it will discover very quickly that your site can’t support the number
    of times you’ve used that keyword or keyphrase. The result will be that your site is either dropped
    deeper into the ranking or (and this is what happens in most cases), it will be removed completely
    from search engine rankings.
    Keyword stuffing is one more black-hat SEO technique that you should avoid. To keep from
    inadvertently crossing the keyword stuffing line, you’ll need to do your “due diligence” when
    researching your keywords. And you’ll have to use caution when placing keywords on your web
    site or in the meta tagging of your site. Use your keywords only the number of times that it’s
    absolutely essential. And if it’s not essential, don’t use the word or phrase simply as a tactic to
    increase your rankings. Don’t be tempted. The result of that temptation could be the exact opposite
    of what you’re trying to achieve.

    keyword stuffing may be involved in excessive use of keywords in content. Hope there is no use of utilization of such a density of keywords in a content rather than we can go for LSI based content where we can receive maximum benefit from Search Engine like Google.

    I do not recommend keyword stuffing. It is like putting too much keywords within the content that makes it look so "spammy". Try to maintain your keyword density per page at least 2% to 3%.

    Keyword stuffing was new to me before this thread. Shoving multiples of the same word into the body of a page doesn't really seem helpful. I agree with many of the comments that it seems like a spam tactic of sort and it also appears to be unethical. There are many better methods to get your site well indexed.

    Keyword stuffing is the practice of inserting a large number of keywords into Web content and meta tags in the attempt to artificially increase a page's ranking in search results and drive more traffic to the site.

    If you will put keywords many times in a page that is keyword stuffing.

    Keyword Stuffing as the name suggests is exaggerated use of a particular keyword in the title, meta tags or content. To get the best SEO results, avoid getting into keyword stuffing.

    keywords stuffing means using keywords number of times in an inappropriate manner. Intentional inserting of keywords without meaning at any place also amount to keyword stuffing.

    Keyword stuffing is overloading the content or meta tags of the web page with every possible keyword or phrase that relates to the site in many different forms. For example, a bad meta description for our knife site would read as follows: “knife, knives, butterfly knives, switchblade, spring assisted knife, sharp, steel.” Notice that this example has only keywords and no sentence structure. There was no coherency and certainly no call to action inviting the browser to “do” anything.
    A good meta description would read something like: “Find a wide variety of knives including switchblade, butterfly and spring-assisted knives at Knife.com. Take a look at our selection of knives and order yours today!” This example is better because it’s not stuffed with keywords. Another benefit to this meta description is that it doesn’t just target broad terms like “knife,” but employs other specific search keywords that are related to the site.
    Keyword stuffing doesn’t work because when the search engine crawler examines your site, its algorithm can quickly determine if keywords are used an unreasonable number of times. If your site contains an unnaturally high density of one single keyword, your site will actually drop in the rankings rather than rise. In severe cases, your site could be removed from the search engine index completely.
