Keyword Stuffing is a practice used to drive traffic towards a site by loading it with maximum number of common keywords. It is an unethical search engine optimization technique to obtain rankings and visibility of your web pages all over the internet. The other name for keyword stuffing is spamdexing or keyword loading.

Keyword stuffing can be done in many ways and the most common ones are inserting repeated keywords within the input type fields, including keyword of the same colour as that of the background of the page so that they may not be seen by a common user but only by search engines.

Keyword Stuffing is never appreciated by any of the search engines as they always approve new and quality strong content, one of the basic rules of getting of good ranks from Google. It is one of the unwise choices for the websites made by their webmasters and can lead to a website being banned and removed from the Search Engine index.
