Should change some pages with key stuffing?

[pompero99]

Hello, i have a website with 1 years old and when i started, when i created the pages, theses have key stuffing (20-30-40 same words in meta descriptions and text, sometimes 15, sometimes 20 and sometimes 40). Since i saw this (about 4 months), i change that, doing new pages with 5-10 same keywords.

Some pages with many keywords (20-30-40) work very fine and i would not lose the position in google, but i don't want to be penalized for that.

Then, my question is:

Should change the old pages with key stuffing or let them?

Thanks so much.

I would update the pages to reduce the keyword stuffing.  You run the risk of getting penalized (and not knowing it), basically because Panda's evaluation of the quality of the page is likely going to suffer.  While we don't know exactly whether or not measuring keyword stuffing is a part of Panda, I believe it's extremely likely because:

• it was a heavily used spam technique for so many years
• it's really easy for Panda to measure algorithmically

As well, conversion rates for real customers who land on the page will do better with un-stuffed pages.

I would agree with Michael's assessment. Better to be safe than sorry. Reduce the keyword stuffing proactively and think more about the visitor than the search engine and provide them with useful content.

Thanks Michael and SEO 5 Team. My page is of coupons codes. I have a good position with these pages and i have afraid to lose these positions. I saw that titles and metadescription are not okey, they have many keywords and are longer.

What do you think about this? Should change only meta-descriptions or too title? I saw that if i change title, can lose more position. Is it really?

Thanks so much again and sorry for my poor english.

I would update the meta descriptions, page titles, meta keywords, and the body content to eliminate the stuffing.

You shouldn't see a drop in ranking by removing extra keywords from the page titles.
