Well after reading a post while back on seomoz.org about google supposingly not enforcing a keyword density penalty, I didn't think about it much, then yesterday I was just messing around with Google search terms, and I searched this: http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=...te+it,+then+start+blogging!&btnG=Search&meta= Since it's the default WordPress text, there would be millions of sites around the net featuring it. All the top results for the search term repeat the phrase hundreds of time throughout the page. I'm not implying that a keyword density penalty doesn't exist. I'm just saying, even if it does, it seems like it's pretty hard to breach the line of benefit for repeating a keyword and become penalized for it.
Whats interesting about that is that each site listed has a different title. When you write your articles you give them the best title you can think of... but do you check to see if that exact title is taken already?
Mikesblank, Interesting and contradicts what I have read in the past! Nice post. Can you further validate this by keyword stuffing your homepage and seeing if the SERPs jump...Just joking...Thanks
Keyword stuffing is effect. My site has got loss. Home page can jump for sometimes but after crawl it will download. My site down pr0 to pr 4
