commas between the keywords.

Personal opinions follows, as I am not a SEO person [in terms of doing
it for a living]:

1. <title></title> - commas between "a listing of keywords" looks, for
the lack of a better expression, cheesy versus being a title for the
page [which could still hold keywords without looking cheesy].

2. meta keywords: been told both ways works 'about the same'; if using
commas, then no need for spaces between the words. I use spaces [thus
no commas] and limit myself to no more than 16 words per page and try
to vary those as needed for the individual pages. I suppose the jury
is still out on that one. *shrug*

Remember you will hear a lot of "do it this way..." and "no, do it
this way as it works better ..." on the same thing in SEO thoughts
along with some "rumors" or "theories". Like the comma use in meta
keywords - some things are not fully agreed upon.

Tell me what the better way to crawl on the web.

Be natural while using effective, tight wording versus trying to
appeal primarily to search engines over the people who may be seeking
your pages [and turned off by sites that are visibly appealing more so
to search engines than people].

But then others may disagree with my opinions.

I recommend:
Spaces between the keywords.
If any two words form a significant pair, put them in their correct
sequence.
Put the words in decending order of significance.
At least 70%, and preferably all, of the keywords must appear in the visible
body text.
Don't repeat words.
Do use just the most important words. If you use few words each will count
more. If you use many words you dilute everything and none will count for
much.

Having or not having a keywords line seems to have no effect in Google.
Having a spammed keywords line could get you marked down.

Best regards, Eric.

Hi Carol,

<fxuts on high pitched voice>Hi Brijesh</fx>

Thankx for ur views and but still u didn't clear the trend to use the
comma's.
can u tell me the correct way to use the comma's and clearily asking u
wheather we should put the comma;s in between or not . whats the fact
in your view , because u suggest that both are the same thing.

Info at:
http://www.searchengineworld.com/design/metatags.htm

But it's largely academic since they do very little, if any, good - there
are usually more pressing issues to deal with than the keywords meta tag.
See: http://searchenginewatch.com/serepor...le.php/2165061

FWIW, I leave spaces.

There are arguments for both. I personally suggest you use white space
(like for instance the space between words I'm using now) or commas,
but not both together.

Or you can do this;

What difference do the spaces make when we USE commas?

Given: The character between the words is to delimit them - the character
being either a space or a comma.

Assumption: To use both would be to put two characters between each word,
which would be both unnecessary and a waste of (number of words-1)
characters.

Correction: (Space left blank for instruction as to the errors in my
thinking.)

No, in fact if your time machine is handy and you pop forwards to the
response I'm just about to post you'll see that that was indeed my
point.
