Solution

Keyword stuffing is repeating words unnaturally to manipulate rankings. Search engines penalize this practice. Write naturally for users first. Use keywords where they fit naturally. Aim for 1-2% keyword density at most. Use synonyms and related terms instead of repeating the exact same phrase. Focus on providing value, not gaming algorithms.
