    Is there a best way to separate phrases in your <title></title> tags?
    In essence:
    <title>seo tips - seo knowledge</title>
    OR
    <title>seo tips / seo knowledge</title>
    OR
    <title>seo tips i seo knowledge</title>

    Last one I use letter "i" because how do you add that vertical symbol and ultimately, is that the best? How do you find that symbol on your keyboard as a shortcut?

    Do it naturally as you would type it, most search engines can tell what the characters are.

    With my blog I type it this way and for some reason I always capitalize.

    I always use | which is the shift key of \

    Seems to get indexed as I type it as long as you don't get way to long.

    w3bmaster: you're obviosly not paying any attention to what you read. My queston remains: HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT VERTICAL MARK? <-----all caps, understand now?
