    has anyone had experience with google and anchor text with "/" in it. (i.e. "Keyword1/Keyword2")

    does it treat the "/" as a space in the anchor text or does it combine the keywords into one?

    In my opinion Google doesn't think keyword1/keyword2 is exactly the same as keyword1 keyword2. I think it sees it as "related".

    / is a valid string character.

    Seraches on G for key1/key2 vers key1 key2 show different results specifically if / hapens to be used in title.

    The question as always ... would a user use it?

    I'd suggest just putting spaces in there.. like Keyword1 / Keyword2.. no one will actually do something like Trees/Leaves so just be sure to have it as Trees / Leaves

    Why not to stick to the meta tags rules?

    <meta name="keyword" content="comma,separated,words,but,not,spaces">
