Using commas in your keywords

[NetPublicist]

Some people say you should use commas in to seperate your keywords and phrases in your meta tags, and other people say you shouldn't.

What is everyones oppinion here?

IMO, to comma or not to comma makes absolutely no difference at all. I simply prefer the "not to" for no particular reason other than habit and I feel that somehow it might be better. :)

Concentrate on delivering good keyword enriched content that "sells" and you will be just dandy.

It doesn't matter. Read last week's Rank Write (http://www.rankwrite.com/archives/issue074.htm)

Well comas and spaces use up a character space that could be used for an actual text character; I still use comas but no spaces.;)

[Hope]

I use spaces and no commas. I have seen no difference in using commas or not. I don't use that many keywords to worry about the number of characters.

I go both ways...with commas that is!~ ;)

I think commas can help create keyword demarcation and separate particular keywords, whereas it may also be beneficial to remove them to reduce repetition for multiple keyword combinations.

Makes no never mind IMO.

Okay. For the record, I use spaces only. Not that I think it matters but cause it is a habit. :)

Besides, if it works, why change now?

Hi NP. If you read the threads about keywords in general they have such little relevance today as far as SE positioning is concerned that it makes no never mind - whatever you are comfortable with :)

Spending you time on well chosen, relevant descriptions for each of your separate topic pages will have more benefit and could get you 2 or more listings in the results

why not just leave out spaces and commas you know how ses will parse words that are connected ie: wordword

who wants to be the first to try it

Or better yet...just leave out the meta keyword tag all together.
