Keyword Stuffing
Keyword stuffing is a “black hat” SEO technique, wherein sites will “stuff” a webpage with words on a topic they’d like to rank for, but without concern for the usability, accuracy or informational value of the page.
This practice is frowned upon by search engines and can damage your search rankings if you engage in it.

A/B Testing
A/B Testing refers to controlled marketing experiments done to test different approaches to marketing campaigns. You’ll see it used most often in areas such as email marketing, with things like different headlines, or different offers. Or web design, where the copy and layout of a page will be tested in two different ways.
Within the experiment, you’ll split the audience who sees each, then monitor the results.
Using this method, you’re able to collect data on what approaches work best to get a desired outcome, such as email clicks, online purchases or newsletter subscriptions.

Duplicate Content
Duplicate Content is much like it says, text or elements on the internet that are duplicated elsewhere. Duplicate content within your own website should be monitored and adjusted as needed. If the content is duplicated elsewhere on the internet, search engines will attempt to determine which is the original source, though it’s often best to try to avoid this issue when possible.
