Do your articles contain all the keywords Google is expecting?

no

Google is not expecting that anybody is stuffing articles with certain keywords. It is the SEO experts and wannabe experts. Google is saying for many years that any artificial manipulation called SEO (linking by webmaster or writing texts that the webmasters think would Google love) should not be done.

Yes, SEO works. But it is something that search engines do not want. All SEO is black hat from perspective of Google. Google wants us to make sites for visitors, not for him. The fact that the ones who do this are often beaten is another story.

I think you have misinterpreted the question.

The OP was not talking about keyword stuffing.

They are simply asking if you should include the keywords that you would like to rank for.

The answer to that question is of course you should.

No, I am not. From Google pow is what you say also keyword stuffing. With lower density, but still it is.

Google does not want you to write articles and think if they keywords have to be there or not. Maybe you misinterpret me a bit. I am just saying Google does not want anyone to do any SEO. Thinking about things like this is not wanted by Google simply. But I am not saying it is a bad thing to do.

Just the headline here is Do your articles contain all the keywords Google is expecting?
Google is not expecting anything.

Maybe OP meant "Do your articles contain all the keywords that you expect to rank at Google?"

If that is the case, my answer is "usually yes". However probably it is not necessary anymore and it seems to be even counterproductive sometimes. So I believe the best articles and copywriters do not do it nowadays this way.

That's what I took the question to mean. The OP is probably not a native English speaker.

I completely disagree with your sentiments about Google and SEO.

Making your content more accessible to search engines and in turn generating more relevant search results creates a better user experience for Google users.

What Google frowns upon is using aggressive SEO tactics to promote thin content. Not all SEO is created equal.
