    it is so simple
    If you do on-page factor and want targeting KW stick on google
    Don't put KW too much on content
    For example 500 words content
    Don't put KW > 5 %

    well , keyword stuffing is one word , is using the same keyword (meta-tags) repeatedly , so to get maximum hits , and visits , even if a page is not related to the "keyword" , keyword stuffing is used even to list that keyword to as a meta-tag.

    This practice is no longer used , because most searching Engines bots now , ignore archive pages and meta-tags for their search count , so it is Gone .... :p
    Cheers.

    In my opinion, keyword stuffing is intentionally putting too much keywords in an article that make it no sense at all. Too obvious for optimization and also it is a black hat.

    Keyword stuffing is considered to be an unethical 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 This method is completely outdated and adds no value to rankings today.

    There 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 pages 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.

    Keyword stuffing is the overuse of keywords in a piece of content. Generally, this is repeating the same keywords over and over just to achieve a higher search engine ranking.

    Keyword stuffing can hurt your rankings. When the Google bots come to index your webpages you might not rank as high as you could if you didn't over saturate your keyword use. In general try to have 3 highly targeted keywords for your target audience. Use them in your title,the body of the webpage, and other webpages on your site. The key is to make them relative to the context of your pages. Good relative content will get you ranked higher in the SERPS.

    There are many websites that has content filled completely with keywords. If you have 1000 words of content and more than 100 words of keywords its called keyword stuffing. Always try to have the same keyword twice or thrice on your website and not more than that. Content written targeting just keywords will be meaningless as well as perform bad on SERP.

    Keyword stuffing is placement of unwanted keywords which makes the google spiders alert that a particular sentence is stuffed with keywords which is not required at all.

    stuffing the unwanted keywords inside the content and blogroll. This leads to over optimization.

    Keyword and key phrase filling is considered to be an illegal seo (SEO) technique. Keyword and key phrase filling occurs when a web page is loaded with search phrases in the meta data or in content. The repeating of words in meta data may explain why many google no longer use these labels.

    Keyword stuffing is considered to be a black hat technique of SEO, if any such webmaster seems to be repeating keywords more than desired percentage may look the whole content unnatural for the readers. This technique though seems to be worked at early days but now search engines are smart enough to find any such activity and they make sure to penalize such webmasters.

    Keyword stuffing is over-using your keyword for a certain page.

    For example if you have a page with 500 words on it and your keyword is 'dog training' then ideally you are looking to have that phrase within the 500 words approximately 12 - 15 times (3% keyword density)

    Keyword stuffing would have the phrase around 30+ times. This is recognized by Google and they will penalize you for it without a shadow of a doubt.
