Keyword Stuffing

Detects excessive keyword repetition in content

Solution

Keyword stuffing is repeating words unnaturally to manipulate rankings. Search engines penalize this practice. Write naturally for users first. Use keywords where they fit naturally. Aim for 1-2% keyword density at most. Use synonyms and related terms instead of repeating the exact same phrase. Focus on providing value, not gaming algorithms.
