Keyword stuffing is as cute as a teddy bear that is losing their stuffing – don’t do it.

A Google Webmaster Help thread has one site owner complaining his site suddenly dropped in the rankings.

Why? Well, Google’s John Mueller said it doesn’t help that your site’s home page has over 300 mentions of the term “batteries” throughout the page, especially in the footer. I viewed the source code of just the home page and there are over 600 mentions of the word “batteries,” not counting the alternatives of the word.

So don’t be cute. 🙂
