More on Keyword Stuffing

Keywords are one of the most important parts of your website content. It is what tells the search engines what your website is about.

It is considered to be unethical to employ such tactics. Keyword stuffing involves overloading your meta tag and written content on your page with every possible phrase or keyword that relates to your site.

When search engines crawl your site, they can quickly determine if your site has valuable content for a reader. If they detect that your keyword density is too high, your site may be at risk of being dropped in the page ranks, or worse, dropped from the listings altogether. This is not a risk that you want to take as it can be very difficult if not impossible to recover.

Keyword density should be somewhere between 3% and 7%. If you are to write content with the keyword density of say 10%, the article would begin to hardly makes sense to the reader anyway. Search engines want to give their customers what they are looking for along with quality information. They are always looking for ways to weed out sites that do not offer their customers the best experience possible.

Search engine algorithms are forever improving. Trying to outsmart the search engine is nearly impossible these days. The best thing you can do is to offer quality content for your readers, the rest will follow.
