Keyword stuffing black hat?

Keyword stuffing is when people stuff multiple keywords into their articles to rank better in the Google SERP's. The better the keywords, and the more there are, the better the site will rank up. However, Google found out about this, and penalized many people who did this. Keyword stuffing is ineffective now, and you would be caught in a day, or even hours if you keyword stuff. When keyword stuffing was effective, people would make the text small so that people couldn't see it, blend the text with the background color, and many other clever ways. Now, it's easy for Google to spot out because they developed an algorithm to catch the people who keyword stuff.
 
Websites that employ keyword stuffing and other forms of black SEO are being cracked down on by these search engines. Once detected they lose their ranking and will remain under penalty for a long time.

You have the choice to report any defaulting site, if you deem fit.

I wouldn't touch any black hat methods personally. Sure you may rank great at the start, but when Google finds out about these methods not only will you lose the rank but you might also be penalised!
 
Keyword stuffing was one of the most practiced techniques to rank better until Google put an end to this by updating their algorithm in such a way that they recognize the keyword density and punish downrank contents with stuffed keywords instead of quality content.
 
Yes,keyword stuffing is a black hat technique.if you stuff keywords in a website content, google will penalize your website so that the keyword ranking will go down.

Google doesn't penalize a site right away. That's why spammy sites like Buublews are enjoying Google's love despite being full of junk and copied content. It takes some time.
 
It's useless, but for some reason it has persisted for like 15 years now. People new or naive to SEO keep doing this over and over on their sites thinking it will get them somewhere when this hasn't worked in forever. Google is a lot more sophisticated than that, and can easily detect when someone is keyword stuffing. It is a surefire way to tell Google that your site is of poor quality. Even their teams of human reviewers are trained to look for this and report it. It's a poor user experience across the board and will hurt your rankings.
 
Keyword stuffing is like some thing that irritate people while reading content. Using same keyword over and over again will make a bad content and you will not like reading it.

Repeating Meta Keywords and using keywords unrelated to the site’s content or sole the purpose of boosting the page’s rankings in search engines. This includes hiding keywords on the page by making the text the same color as the background, hiding keywords in comment tags, overfilling Alt Tags with long strings of keywords, etc. Keyword stuffing is considered a shady way to game search engines, and as such is discouraged.
 
Keyword stuffing is the term used to define the relevant or irrelevant placement of keywords in a piece of content. With stuffed keywords, there are higher chances for a content to gain maximum visibility on search engines for those particular frequently searched keywords. Keyword stuffing in meta-tags and content acts as a tool to direct traffic to a site but is considered a black hat search engine optimization technique because of the irrelevancy it gives to the readers.
 
Its always better to follow ethical methods to rank best in search engines....excessive keyword stuffing will never bring any profit to you.
 
Keyword stuffing is black hat in the SEO. Not repeated keyword again and again. Only one time use the keyword in the submissions.
