[ortelius]

Should keywords and keyword phrases in the meta tags be separated by commas or not?

Thanks Karl. Can I assume that's ok as far as Google is concerned also?

[curlykarl]

As far as I know Google doesn't read them, but having them wont do you any harm.

Q: What's best to do with the Keywords meta-tag?
A: This line is not as important as is commonly believed. Put phrases that relate to this page in the Keywords line, separated by commas.

Conceptually I find that very hard to believe (yes, I know it is in their FAQ). The first stage of processing a page by the indexer has to be a parser, and I simply cannot conceive of a parser so primitive that it only recognizes a single word separator, namely the comma.
