Title Element too Long - Counts ampersand as &

[DPSSeomonkey]

I was wondering if Google counts the ampersand written as '&' as 5 characters or a single one?

It seems that Google counts it as a single character and SEOmoz PRO counts it as 5 characters.

You are correct.

File a bug report for this.

So if you have too long title tags because of this, don't bother changing it because SE's won't cut the title off.

In the title tag, just use & (with spacing). Not & - see AT&T website.
