    I'm using this plugin for my blog, that generates automatic meta tags for the <head> section, but it comes in this sorta format:

    Personal+Development, Self+Help, Personal+Growth

    instead of

    Personal Development, Self Help, Personal Growth

    Is that still OK for search engines?

    yea it is ok for search engine,i think it will help more with compare to Personal+Development, Self+Help, Personal+Growth.
    just try to cover keywords such a way it make some sense in sentence. Don't go for only keywords while u making meta tags and specially title and des tag.

    thanks for the help mate

    For SEO, which one is better?
    Personal+Development, Self+Help, Personal+Growth
    or
    Personal Development, Self Help, Personal Growth?

    My blog software puts Personal+Development, Self+Help, Personal+Growth so I don't know if its OK

    I would personally go without the '+' but I haven't tested this so don't take my word for it. Keyword meta tags are overrated anyway.

    I'm also confused. What is your reason for wanting to include a "+" in the first place?

    I'ts not adviced by Google. Anything that is "unusual" including special characters, lengthy keywords and description tags will either do you some harm or not give you any particular positive results.

    Why don't you stick to the suggested format?i.e - Meta description - around 150-200 characters without any characters and Meta keywords tag below 10 keywords.
