Colons and commas in title tags instead of hyphens and pipes ?

[Dan-Lawrence]

Hi

In light of Google changing display of title tag from character limit to pixel limit does it make sense to swap some uses of pipes and hyphens with colons and commas ?

For example:

Category: Keyword, Keyword, Keyword | Brand

Instead of:

Category - Keyword - Keyword - Keyword | Brand

I seem to remember hearing bad things about colons in title tags but think that was just in regard to when used multiple times.  Surely ok to use once if in logical format ?

Cheers

Sure you can use that, do you think it looks better though? Gramatically commas are used in sentances and title tags are phrases, your meta tag is the sentance(s).

Just don't use the tick**    '    **

or it can break up your code since it is used in php, and  also avoid other funky characters that are non-ascii.

Thanks Irving

I do !

For example i think this looks better title for say the clothes department of a girls store:

Girls Clothes: Girls Dresses, Tops, Blouses & Coats | Girls Gift Shop

Than this:

Girls Clothes - Girls Dresses - Tops - Blouses - Coats | Girls Gift Shop

What you think ?
