Yep. to my frustration, I did stuff my article with keywords and so are those plugins I'm using. I did put keywords repeatedly on it. And somehow I ranked. I wouldn't recommend doing it now as google's algo is becoming strict every now and then.

They say that keyword stuffing is considered black hat SEO method that it can cause your site to be banned or sanctioned by Google. But I am wondering if those talks were true because I have been seeing sites with a lot of keywords that are even scattered on the content of the web page. And yet the ranking in the search list is very good. Maybe keyword stuffing is just an invented word and the effect is not negative although excessive keywords in the content is annoying to the readers.

I have never experience it. Keyword stuffing happens when you use keywords, linking structures, tags and other means of optimization on your site that has no relevance to the website's content or purpose.

I have a friend who has the habit of stuffing his web page with lots of keywords. He also does that when uploading his videos on Youtube. He said that the more keywords you put in, the better your chances of getting a hit or traffic. I agree with him because his website seems to be doing good in the traffic department and all because of his claim about stuffing keywords on his web pages. However, I have read in recent discussions in this forum that stuffing keywords is tantamount to violation in Google’s policy. I really don’t have a clear idea of that but maybe the other search engines will not penalize you for stuffing keywords.
