      Title tag best practices according to seomoz is the following keyowrd - keyword | brand.com but I have seen some interesting results from using a comma as to a hyphen to seperate keywords as reccomended and wanted to know which method is more crawler friendly.

        A hyphen, comma or pipe can be used as a word separator in the title tag. None of these choices are considered as superior from a SEO perspective. It's up to you to determine which method works best for your site.

          I agree with Ryan. In addition, if you are using commas, make sure it reads well. There is nothing more that looks unprofessional than bad grammar.
