📝 Keyword stuffing, a spammy SEO technique, manipulates search engine rankings by overusing the same keyword, which is now discouraged by evolved algorithms like Google's that prioritize content quality and user experience. Visible and hidden stuffing, such as excessive keyword repetition and invisible text, can lead to a poor user experience, Google penalties, damaged credibility, and reduced conversion rates. Google's March update further penalizes such practices, emphasizing search intent and EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust). Sustainable SEO strategies include natural keyword usage, semantic richness, quality content, maintaining a 1-2% keyword ratio, proper meta tags and titles, structured content, internal and external linking, search intent focus, and good UX. 🌐
