\u201cKeyword stuffing refers to the practice of filling a web page with keywords or numbers in an attempt to manipulate rankings in Google Search results. Often, these keywords appear in a list or group, unnaturally or out of content. We detect policy-violating content and behaviors both through automated systems and, as needed, human review that can result in a manual action. Sites that violate our policies may rank lower or not appear in results at all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Keyword stuffing is a type of spam where a website owner tries to disproportionately insert a wide range of keywords onto a web page in a bid to enhance their search rankings.

Keyword stuffing can be done in several ways. On a visible page, it often results in content that doesn\u2019t read well and an excessively high keyword density.
