Please take a look at my keyword usage

​Hi All,

Traffic to few pages of my site is dipping from last couple of months. When I analyzed one of the web page (http://ow.ly/IEkt307dfNr​) in Moz tools, it is warning that the keyword "dance classes" is used excessively in the page (30+ times). But, it is used in genuine manner; because that page is a listing page of "dance class teachers" who provide the service, we added "dance classes" under each of the provider. It helps users to connect with the teach easily.

Is this okay or will it fall under keyword stuffing? Should I change something?

Mwah, this is just a personal opinion. But I would say for now you should be able to get away with this. Sometimes the information provided for a dance class provider isn't that much but overall it doesn't harm the page.

What I would look into for the long run though is the fact that you have these footer links that look a bit spammy: http://take.ms/jN6tJ

Hi There,

I do agree with Martijn that this does not appear to be keyword stuffing of the content, I do not think this would cause any issues.

However, I did notice that the meta keywords tag is extremely over-optimized, this could be considered keyword stuffing/spamming. The meta keywords tag does not provide any value, major search engines abandoned it as a ranking factor years ago. However, it is possible this is sending spam signals. Google states that they ignore the meta keywords tag, but Bing has acknowledged that they review this tag as a spam signal.

I noticed that many pages contain meta keyword tags that are fairly 'stuffed', I would recommend removing these or significantly decreasing the keyword usage in these tags.
