SEO Tips: keyword stuffing is bad

Keyword stuffing is adding as many keywords, or keywords in really high densities into a page as possible to try to trick or fool a search engine into believing the webpage is something that it is not, or that it is more relevant than it really its.

  • Sort of like Aunt Bertha’s stuffing, this is a bad idea.
  • If you are over 10% keyword density, you are going to get flogged by the search engine riot police.
  • 3% Density for Google, 5% for Yahoo or MSN are typically fine ratios.
  • Remember, keyword density is important (even to your Adwords quality score), but it is just one snowflake in the SEO snowstorm.
  • Remember, Google uses slaves kidnapped by alien spacecraft to crawl the internet. If it doesn’t sounds good (i.e. make sense) there is a good chance these Borg-type indexers will notice and penalize your site. All Praise Google!
