Commas in Meta Title and Description Okay?

[MrGlobalization]

Hey there guys, have heard some recent information from some experts that utilizing commas in headings, meta titles or descriptions is not good for ranking. Can you guys please shed some light on this?

Thank you!

Within titles a comma is often seen as wasted space since the character count is so limited, but sites with them in their title still rank, see: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=lions%20tigers%20bears.  Headings tend to be as short as titles which is probably what dictates comma usage more than anything. Meta Descriptions using commas are fine and fairly common since they're written with less space constraints as the above.

Do you have the source on where you heard this first? Would be interesting to see how they're discussing it.  Cheers!

Hi Josh,

No absolutely not . We can use comma or pipes, dashes as a separator in meta title, description or heading but not underscore. You can also watch below video to know more.

Alick300, Thank you. That was the true evidence straight from the Google source that validates this question my client had! Thank you again.
