    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    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 This method is completely outdated and adds no value to rankings today.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.

    it is when you stuff your keyword in the article to increase the keyword density. this is an old school trick that search engines caught up on and not useful anymore. if you use a keyword too much on a single page, you might even get penalized for keyword spam

    related to this is keyword spamming within the content. While 3% to 7% is considered acceptable, anything more than that is considered spam.

    I would highly recommend you not to do this. Google has forbidden keyword stuffing and will de-index your site, it's just a matter of time before they find out that you're doing it.

    Overusage of keywords and beyond exceeding the targeted limit is known as keyword stuffing.
