What is Keyword Stuffing?

"Keyword stuffing" refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords or numbers in an attempt to manipulate a site's ranking in Google search results. Often these keywords appear in a list or group, or out of context (not as natural prose).
 
keyword stuffing would get a site in trouble, but less obvious tactics would also cause Penguin to flag your site. Many webmasters and bloggers report that the new updates have penalized genuine and original content while many spam websites still rank high in search results. Black hat technique will be harmful for your site.
 
Keyword stuffing is a search engine optimization (SEO) technique, considered webspam or spamdexing, in which a web page is loaded with keywords in the meta tags or in content of a web page in an attempt to gain an unfair rank advantage in search engines.
 
I recently read a myth about keyword stuffing. There was not supported case that supported a loss in ranking due to keyword staffing. But, the suggestion is to be smart enough on how to incorporate your keywords so it appears natural.

Keyword stuffing is a SEO technique used by Web designers to overload keywords onto a Web page so that search engines will read the page as being relevant in a Web search.

Because search engines scan Web pages for the words that are entered into the search criteria by the user, the more times a keyword appears on the Web page the more relevancy the search engine will assign to the page in the search results (this is only one way that search engines determine relevancy, however.)

Search engines often penalize a site if the engine discovers keyword stuffing, as this practice is considered poor netiquette, and some search engines will even ban the offending Web pages from their search results.
