Seriously, that kind of text just sounds like it was written by a moron. Redundancy is as bad in language as it is in OOP programming. I don't care much either way about keyword stuffing as a form of spam ... I just get the impression the copy was written by someone with such a small vocabulary they can't express themselves, and I shouldn't waste my time reading what they have to say. My goal whenever I write is to not make that mistake. Except the first paragraph above ... a special case to demonstrate the idiocy that's out there. Honestly I think lower "keyword density" is a better thing - it's easier and more natural to read.
