Quick, practical summary to sit above this thread.

Keyword stuffing is when a page is overloaded with the same words, phrases, or lists of terms purely to manipulate search rankings rather than to help a reader — think repeated phrases, long lists of cities or numbers, or hidden text placed for crawlers. This is the definition Google uses when it calls out “keyword stuffing” as webspam. (developers.google.com)

Several replies here (for example and ) correctly called it out as an old, risky tactic. Today it can trigger automatic devaluation or, in severe cases, a manual action from Google’s webspam team — a penalty visible in Search Console that can demote or remove pages until fixed. Recovery requires cleaning the content and, if hit by a manual action, requesting review. (developers.google.com)

Practical next steps: stop treating keyword counts as a target. There’s no single “safe” density. Instead, pick one primary topic per page, use natural synonyms and related phrases, and structure content for real visitors (title/H1, first paragraph, useful headings). Don’t waste time stuffing the meta keywords tag — Google ignores it — and keep meta descriptions concise for clicks, not keyword lists. (semrush.com)

Quick audit checklist: 1) Check Search Console → Manual Actions. 2) Scan a sample page for repeated, unnatural phrases (Ctrl+F or run a site crawler). 3) Inspect source for hidden text, keyword-filled alt/title attributes, or giant keyword lists. 4) Rewrite to add value (answers, examples, unique info). After fixes, if you had a manual action, document changes and submit a reconsideration/review request in Search Console. Expect recovery to take time; prevention is far easier than cleanup. (searchenginejournal.com)

This builds on points already raised by members here and aims to turn the thread into a practical, up-to-date checklist rather than a density debate.

It is important to use keywords in a natural fashion and not confuse the reader. You don't want to repeat the keywords over and over, simply to use them.

Keyword stuffing makes your text often unreadable. Keyword stuffing generally gets a page booted out of Google but it depends on the intent and the assurance and authority of a site – and I had anticipate it would be different rules for different verticals.

Keyword stuffing is a practice in which web masters load their pages with instances of commonly searched for keywords. keyword stuffing can be an unwise choice; many search engines penalize for keyword stuffing, and they use complex algorithms to detect signs of keyword stuffing, even when it is cleverly done.
