Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or keyword phrase is found in your page content amidst all the other content.

Keyword stuffing refers to placing excessive amount of keywords into the page attributes (description, tags, title, etc) in such a way that it detracts from the readability and usability of a given page for the purpose of boosting the page’s ranking in the search engines. In simple words, it is another shady way of gaming/cheating the search engines and is strongly discouraged.

May be Keyword stuffing is not recommended in page titles or description as when a visitor gets into your link via search engine and found that there are no relevant content they would just go away back to the search engine and start looking for another site. Search bots keeps tracking on your visitors and see how they will interact with your site, will they go back to search engine and type the same keyword once again, or will they spend time on your site and interact with your content. so use only related keyword in the site and increase or generate more traffic to your website.
