Hi Nathan

This is a well put together explanation of keyword stuffing. Re Gary’s question: Gary I would say it is safer to go up to a keyword density 2.5% but that 2% is more than adequate. Simply keep your content relevant and you will be fine.

All the best ~ Maya

Thank you for your advice. I often write reviews of products and do end up using the same words over and over again to describe the product. It is what it is! I can’t call it something else!

Will that get me dinged by the search engines? I’d like to keep my sponsors happy AND keep my slowly growing PR!

Thanks for your advice!

Hi Nathan,
Thanks this has cleared up keyword stuffing a little for me.
I try to get most of my sites to have a keyword density of 2-3%. I assume this is ok and is not stuffing in any way? The problem with trying to get this density is that occasionally it can start to look a little unnatural to use the keywords so often.
Thanks again
Gary

I’m fortunate to read your post. I can avoid penalty from google by not making any keyword stuffing.

Thank you for the great article. Would you consider a description of a website (in sentence form) in the footer keyword stuffing? I agree that all major search engines see through keyword stuffing.

Thanks for the article. It’s unfortunate so many websites and even “seo firms” resort to such techniques as keyword stuffing.

Good eye, Chris. Nate’s example is 167 characters, and is probably a bit long for the sole reason that the last few words would get cut off in a Google search listing (Google limit is 160). The meta description is used to entice visitors to click rather than improve rankings, so even if your description is too long, it will just get cut off. We don’t normally stress too much about the length of the description. As long as you put the important stuff up front, it’s not usually a big deal if it gets chopped.

I agree with your article. Search engines look at the relevance of the content. The LSI algorithm is used to decide the relevance of words in content.
