relic of the
ancient past: keyword stuffing
Keyword stuffing has stopped working
years ago. Unfortunately, still use this technique. You've probably
seen web pages with content like this:
Search engine can detect that the sole purpose of the text above was to mention the term 'blue widget' as often as possible. It's also obvious that the text has not been written for human visitors. Modern search engine algorithms aren't stupid. If you're lucky, search engines will ignore your page. If you're not lucky, your website will get a penalty.
In addition, people who come to your website won't read this text. That also means that these people won't buy something from your website and they won't share the page on social networks.
In short: keyword stuffing is bad for your search engine rankings and it is bad for conversions.
"Buy blue
widgets for your friend. A blue widget is cool so order it for
yourself. With blue widgets, you will have tons of blue widget fun.
Enjoy your blue widget and get it from our blue widget shop. We have
everything for blue widgets."

alternative

contain keywords that are related to the topic of your website.

website is about.
