Keyword stuffing

[PlusPort]

I am writing a document with a big enumeration (100 subjects) and in that enumeration a keyword will be shown also 100 times.  e.g.:

1. little car

2. little shoe

and so on... I will use the unordered list html code. The document isn't  4 SEO purposes such as high ranking. I 'm afraid that because the keyword is repeated that often this could  reflect the website.

What are your thoughts about this?

Hi,

if the list makes sense, i.e. if a human being looks at it and finds nothing odd about it, I would not worry about it. I would suppose that this is the case here, as you are not doing it for SEO purposes. While the page in question might not rank highly as it is not optimized, I don't think it will have any negative implications for your site or other pages on it. If you are worried that it actually might look like keyword stuffing, try to come up with some text (without the keyword) and add it to the page - but only if it makes sense and adds value.

The bottom line is if you present an article in a quality manner which reads smoothly, it should be fine. You state the article isn't being written for SEO nor high rankings, so the rankings of this particular article wouldn't matter.

Your concern about the article reflecting the website is valid, but even if this one article is considered "bad", it should not negatively impact the site assuming you have many other pages. If you have a 10 page site and 3 of the pages are "bad" in some manner, that would be a concern as it reflects 30% of the site. If you have a 100+ page site, then a single article is only 1% of the site and would not have a negative impact on the site as a whole.

If the above explanation still leaves you with concerns, you can always add the noindex tag to the page and it wont be considered at all by search engines.
