    Keyword stuffing is overusing a keyword to increase the keyword density for that keyword on its page.Keyword stuffing is a type of black hat SEO, which means that search engines may penalize a website if the search engine bots detect the technique being used.
    Keyword density refers to how often a keyword is used relative to the rest of the text on the page.

    Keyword stuffing is placing your keywords all over your articles, regardless of grammar. This usually results to an incomprehensible article. We recommend a keyword density of 1% for a 400-500 word article.

    Keyword stuffing is just having all of your keywords appearing often, it's aimed at confusing the search engines that your page is extremely relevant, the smarter search engines will simply find this out and penalise your site

    keyword stuffing in fact act as the keywords which are used by the people for the purpose of searching different elements over the internet. keyword stuffing is accomplished by hiding the keyword, so visitors don't see it, but search engines do.

    "Keyword stuffing" refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords in an attempt to manipulate a site's ranking in Google's search results. Filling pages with keywords results in a negative user experience, and can harm your site's ranking.

    To put more keywords on the page is generally known as the keyword stuffing, and for a page we can go with 2-3 % keyword density.

    More than used of 3% keywords in the content, if you boost this percentage then google not good impression or index your content and your content will be spammy and not rank it ... so you must be good supply of content, used more than 3% for accounting words....

    Keyword stuffing means excessive inclusion of certain keywords on one page. Generally, a keyword should not comprise more than 10% of your entire content on a page. Recommended keyword density is around 2-4%.

    Because keywords are such an important part of the substance of your website content , they require extra special attention. You could even say that keyword usage is a “rite of passage” skill that takes time to acquire. For example, if your site sells church chairs, or knives, you might think that the word “knives” would be the best keyword to utilize. Well, you may or may not be right, but it’s a good bet that this site sells many different kinds of “knives.” Being able to select the right keywords requires a good understanding of your target audience and what they are looking for.

    Some unethical SEOs choose to employ renegade tactics such as 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.

    Don’t give in to the temptation to stuff your website full of keywords in an attempt to improve your rankings. The result will be the exact opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. You’re better off writing good, relevant content that humans and search engines will love.

    Keyword density is not as important as it used to be. Look into LSI, or latent semantic indexing. Its 'allegedly' the way that google looks at content to determine a pages relevancy. Basically each keyword will have an LSI index, which is just a library of common related words that are usually present in a page if the topic is about that keyword. If you make sure that not only your keyword, but a good spread of these LSI words are also present in your page, then google classes that page as a more 'relevant' one.

    Another really easy, and less technical way of achieving the same thing when producing content for your site, is too just write really good quality articles, then it goes without saying that your LSI words will be present in the page.

    Keyword Density is the percentage of occurrence of your keywords to the text in the rest of your web page. It is important for your main keywords to have the correct keyword density to rank well in Search Engines.
    Keyword stuffing is when you use to many keywords on a web page.
    Sometimes SEO experts go too far in their desire to push their clients' sites to top positions and resort to questionable practices, like keyword stuffing.

    Injecting a pretty large number of keywords into an ordinary sentence will be called keyword stuffing. Imagine using the same keyword 12 times in a 15 word sentence.

    keyword stuffing is bad. Articles should be written to appeal to the target audience a nd not to catch the fancy of google's algorithm. Any good, well-written article would surely rank well. so why the keyword stuffing?
