Hyphen in Title Tag Issue Today

    I just started noticing that G is removing the hyphen in some of my SERPs causing the words to be combined. For example Colorado-Travel is now being displayed as ColoradoTravel. This is for titles that do not have any space on either side of the hyphen. Any ideas on what may be going on?

    Regards, DEL

    Hmm, I am not sure what is happening for you. I have about a dozen sights with hyphens in the title, and google has not touched them.

    I noticed the same thing a few days ago with a few of my sub pages, I'm not sure why
    this is happening, but I would like to know the answer to this question as well.

    yes i also think that there might be some thing going on at google end maybe they are updating their informational retrieval thing and due to that such words are being displayed..
