I want to know what is keywork stuffing?

Thanks for your information... It's being annoying! Basically just listing words you think people might search for for the sole purpose of getting a search engine hit. You can tell people are doing it because the words will either be in a plain comma separated list at the end, or in a paragraph that reads like something no person would ever really read or write. Like instead of "Check out our wide selection of men's and ladies' shoes!" there'd be text at the top that says "check our our wide selection of men's shoes, ladies' shoes, women's shoes, sneakers, brown shoes, work shoes, leather shoes, comfortable shoes, affordable shoes, shoes made in the USA, pretty shoes, fashionable shoes..." on and on and on.

Most search engines detect these shenanigans now and downgrade your relevance.

I once sent a webmaster a really angry email because I accidentally deleted the helvetica font from my mac, and was searching for it and got to his website because he'd stuffed the word "helvetica" on there because it's a popular font. But he didn't have the font. a-hole! Keyword stuffing is where you keep using your keyword excessively throughout your content.

so if your keyword was "black cup" then you would put that keyword in a 10 times every
100 words.

if you do this you can say Bye Bye to your content because Google will not Index it Keyword stuffing is the process of implementing way to many keywords in a repetitious manner on the page you are attempting to optimize. It is fine to use keywords which people are searching for in your URL, titles, and content, but when density shoots over ten percent you will be looking at being dropped or banned from search indexes. It is old tactic to promote your site
Now it is part of the dark past of SEO Why not try and answer this question yourself?

A quick search on Google for [ keyword stuffing ] brings up this url in the first result - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyword_stuffing

Don't others here agree that the term [ keyword stuffing ] is self explanatory? Keyword stuffing means overuse of keywords. It is an unethical way to SEO and search engines can permanently ban a website due to this reason. It's a black hat seo practice, exact meaning : use keywords more times for particular page. The overuse of keywords, a practice called keyword stuffing, will cause a web page to be penalized.

This method is completely outdated and adds no value to rankings today.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. Quote: Originally Posted by icecube_media http://www.v7n.com/forums/seo-forum/277980-what-keyword-stuffing.html#post1765921
