Creating negative value 'keyword stuffing'

Keyword Stuffing is an outdated, damaging practice. I'm not sure how effective it ever was, but I do know that just about every manager, owner, and webmaster who begins learning about SEO writing, comes up with it and tries it out.

My basic policy with this particular topic, and others like it, is 'I don't do it.' Really, it is that simple. You've read in this article and many others I have written, that most of the decisions for Freelance Writing are on the client. But this is one of the areas which I don't leave to the Client, because along with today's payment, is tomorrow's payment, and I would rather loose one client than loose several others because of reputation and complaint.

As a Freelance Writer, you have very little holding you above the din of amateurs floating across the Internet. Those tethers of profitability are your reputation, and your client's reviews.

Keyword Stuffing will make whole websites disappear from Search Engine Listings.

If a client insists on you using Keyword Stuffing or other Black Hat techniques in the writing of his articles or blog posts, simply walk away. It is never worth it, ... never. There are far too many companies and people on the Internet today who need the services of a good SEO Writer. You are not loosing anything walking away from a client who cares nothing for your reputation or future work, or their own web site.
