    As per my experience there is not any special effect of " | " in SERP. it will used for separator in title tag like " buy dog for your security | domainname " here you can separate description with domain name. and it will look good when your site listed by search engine.

    Vertical Bars "|" and hyphens are used as keyword separators and it is intended to make a title readable and appealing. It is intended for visitors...second is for the Search engine

    using "|" helps rank better as we can use many keywords separated by pipe. one positive point is it looks good comparatively when we use keywords without pipe.

    I personally prefer the hyphen, or I set up my title tags using colons or semi-colons as appropriate.

    Example1: DogWebsite.com: A friendly guide to dog breeding, health and care
    Example2: DogWebsite.com - A friendly guide to dog breeding, health and care
    Example3: DogWebsite.com: Dog Health - Fleas and how to get rid of them

    The pipe "looks" nicer, I agree, but so many end users are unaccustomed to using this character or knowing what it means I think it is best left unused, or used sparingly. You have to think of that end user seeing your title tag in the search results and determine what is readable - the pipe acts like a roadblock to reading further. Just go back and re-read the title of this post, you read it like a robot, with long pauses.

    Example4: DogWebsite.com | Dog Health | Fleas and how to get rid of them - it doesn't read as nicely at all.

    As far as seo'ing, since I rid my title tags of them a couple of years ago, I can't fully say what is better in the present tense, but I did think my pages were more fully indexed on each of my sites after I got rid of pipes.

    My 2 cents,
    tasty

    P.S. DogWebsite.com is not my site, just made it up for this post

    For SEO it does not make any difference.
    However, I personally believe that it is a question of one's liking.
    You are going to use something unconventional if you use the vertical bars and you know there may be both positive or negative effect of this type of action.

    If you need a well behaved dog, then it is necessary to train a dog properly. This is because, dog is a social animal and it will act aggressively sometime. It is true that dogs are like human being and they like to live in a group. This is the reason why dogs will be always faithful, playful and just fun to be around.

    So, many people want to train their puppy/dog before he turns into a little monster, and develop all the annoying and embarrassing behaviors. By training them dog owners will improves their dog behavior.

    Before training a dog, the owner will be annoyed with the dog's behavior such as:

    • Constantly crying, whining and barking when you leave the house
    • If you call him twenty times but he won't come.
    • Barks at the neighbor's kids or run after cars.
    • Someone knocks at the door and your dog goes nuts barking.
    • You are walking your dog and you see another dog coming your way.

    Know that your dog will go insane when he sees the upcoming dog and so on. But after training, it will put an end to all the bad behavior your dog has. In the training session, if you want your dog to listen to you it is very necessary to have an effective communication such as:

    1. Sit: In the training session you should make a dog to sit when you commanded is very important.
    2. Stay: After teaching the word "Sit", you should teach him stay. If he is running away from you, Stay command will helps to take a control on your dog.
    3. No: The word No also have equal importance. If the dog understands this word, then dog will come to know immediately what to do or not.

    The secret behind the dog training is that the dog will respond to positive dog training rather then negative. While conducting training instead of punishing, try to praise him. These things will make your training session very simpler.

    So, when your dog finishes with the above training session and when he starts obeying your all the three words, teach him with the word "Come". The simple thing you should understand is, if you call him with a pleasant voice the dog will react quickly to it. Also remember, when you called him "Come", and if he reacted for the first time then don’t forget to admire him or give some reward.

    These are the few simple steps to train dog and if you follow this it will give you effective results. Try these steps to train your dog and just start training your little monster…

    There is no effective difference on "," , "|".
