Stuffing keyword everywhere too many times , in the title, description, headings, image attributes and body text is called keyword stuffing.
How do you know? Use a seo plugin like rankmath, yoast or an online tool that detects it.
It was first detected by google with release of panda update in 2011. Since then Google can detect, derank and deindex your post/page.

Keyword stuffing is when you overload a page with the same keyword unnaturally to try to rank higher. Search engines penalize it beacuse it hurts user experience and looks manipulative. Focus on natural, helpful content instead.
Keyword stuffing is a spammy SEO tactic where websites repeatedly use keywords or phrases in their content to manipulate search engine rankings, rather than creating natural and engaging content. Search engines penalize keyword stuffing because it harms user experience and violates their guidelines by prioritizing user value over artificial ranking manipulation.

Keyword stuffing is basically when you try to force rankings by repeating the same term over and over ,in titles, headings, or body text ,without adding any real value.
Google sees it as manipulation, not relevance.
It makes content unreadable and kills user experience, so their algo flags it.
Since the Panda update, they’ve been strict on this.
If the keyword doesn't fit naturally, it's hurting you more than helping.

Keyword stuffing is when you force a keyword into your content way too much, hoping to rank higher but search engines see it as spam and will drop your rankings instead.

Search engines like Google aim to deliver useful, relevant, and readable content to users. Keyword stuffing breaks that goal. It is the practice of overusing keywords in your content (often unnaturally) in an attempt to manipulate search engine ranking .it has a poor user experience, manipulative SEO tactic, low content quality.

Keyword stuffing as the name suggests is to place your keyword all over the content. For example, the following paragraph has keyword stuffing for the phrase "keyword."
Keyword research is an important step to find valuable keywords that can help you rank for short tail keywords, medium tail keywords and long tail keywords for your niche specific keywords. If you find a right keyword, write an article with keyword in title, keyword in alt text of keyword related image and body. You can optimise your content for the keyword so that the visitor understands everything about the keyword.
I think I don't need to explain why Google penalizes it.

Currently, it simply causes keywords to fall out, if they are difficult commercial phrases then even beyond the top100. Proper selection of the saturation of key phrases allows you to return to the right positions.

What kind of earnings? Since something doesn't work, it won't enable earnings. Show me a meaningful phrase where there is any site positioned with the technique keyword stuffing.

Then show the phrase where your pages are not. I for one have seen for years that keyword stuffing doesn't work.

Keyword stuffing offers no value to real time visitors, who are searching for information or anything. That's the main reason google penalizing the sites that overdo.

But the point here is not whether it adds value or not, but whether it works.
Many SEO techniques add nothing for users.
This technique simply does not work at present.
