Hi,
I would like to ask you a question.
Maybe it's a very obvious thing, but I really don't know the answer...
I have been watching some videos that say that if you have your keywords repeated too many times in your site, Google will penalize you.
I have a few keywords (and some variations) that are repeated throughtout the site in different titles, text, name of photos...
I also have several youtube videos that have those keywords in title, description and text, linked to the site (I guess this is old SEO?)
I have looked at webmasters tools and it does not say my site has been penalized.
It just tells me about some pages that return a 404 error.
Does that mean my site is fine?
Should I change anything or shoud I leave it like that?
Any suggestions will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thank you very much, warrios

    Other than paranoia, which is somewhat understandable given the way Google operates, do you have any reason to believe your website is penalized?

    Your site is probably fine. Repeating keywords too many times is synonymous with keyword stuffing, and the penalty resulting from that is page-specific. In other words, entire sites can't be stuffed with keywords; only pages can.

        Thank you for your answers, everyone!
        The reason why I am asking this is because my rankings have recently dropped for some keywords.
        I could be due to competition or I thought it could also be due to keyword stuffing.
        That's why I am asking...
        Any suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks

      I am not building backlinks other than natural links from social networks and other pages related to my niche.
      I heard low quality backlinks can also have a negative effect on a site and can even get it penalized, so I am not trying that...
      Thank you!
