Definition
Keyword stuffing generally refers to the act of adding an inordinate number of keyword terms into a webpage’s HTML tags, usually in an attempt to manipulate the ranking of the page in a search engine‘s results.[1][2]
According to Google, “Filling pages with keywords or numbers results in a negative user experience and can harm your site’s ranking. Focus on creating useful, information-rich content that uses keywords appropriately and in context.”[3]
