What are keyword stuffing and redundant phrases

Search engines seek to rank the best sites that contain useful and high-quality content. If the text is overloaded with repeating words and numbers, includes too many keywords — likely, it will be sanctioned. Google applies the Panda algorithm that has significantly decreased the traffic of many sites with low-quality content in 2019.

After the overloaded text is identified, the search engine may filter the whole site as well as particular pages. If it happened, you need to find and shift all the keyword-stuffed texts with more appropriate ones. While doing it, you should make the new texts interesting, relevant, useful, and readable.

Keyword stuffing means a square root of the total amount of a single keyword repeating. For example, if there are 16 repeatings, the stuffing score is 4. The text is considered as stuffed if its score is over 7.

To provide good positions for your site, you need to take into account TOP-10 competitors' parameters and seek to get the same keyword stuffing score. There are two ways to increase the stuffing score:

• shift some keywords with their synonyms or pronouns, change some phrases to decrease their density and get the optimal result;
  
  
• increase the total amount of words. This will help to distribute the keys through the text and decrease their density.
  
  

It's worth taking into account that while improving the stuffing score, the text has to contain the proper amount of keys. Otherwise, the site won't be sanctioned but won't get to the SERPs top as well.

To check the text density and other SEO parameters, you'd better use reliable online tools such as Copywritely, SEO Review Tools. They provide accurate SEO checks and show all the parameters that have to be improved. Text Analytics by Serpstat helps to find out the optimal amount of keys through automatic competitors analysis.
