Is it useful to use keywords in page title?

[Etar]

Hi,
Is it legal and useful to use keywords in page title like the following form:
keyword1 - keyword2 - keyword3 -...

Note: I retrieve the keywords from database dynamically.

It is useful, but ideally titles should appeal to people to be clicked on since they'll be seeing them in search engine listings.

Marcia,

>but ideally titles should appeal to people to be clicked on since they'll be seeing them in search engine listings.

So I will put the title like that:
PageName – mydomain.com - keyword1 - keyword2 - keyword3
I think its better.
But I do not see too much site do like that!

Etar, here is some wonderful advice about page titles

We also have many other threads discussing page titles. I don't know how your software works, but the more attractive you can make the titles the better, and it's usually best to have the most important keyword phrase for the page at the beginning of the title rather than the company or site name.

PageName – mydomain.com - keyword1 - keyword2 - keyword3

I'm not even sure it's useful. I think this arrangements limits your targeting in a lot of ways....

The words aren't grouped into natural phrases, which hurts targeting for phrases.

And it may be, that with semantic analysis here or on the way, the engines, as well as the users, will see these as isolated words without context or meaning, and count this against you too.
