Hey matt
You should separate your keywords by commas because if you have terms with a number of words, the comma will distinguish these.

I wouldn't spend too long on keywords as the effect in the more important engines (google, yahoo, ask, msn) are very limited.

I would like to request that you please separate the list with a comma. This enables the scrapers and people like me to determine which single words, and which whole phrases, you are targeting. This makes our spamming efforts that little bit easier.

Ta muchly.

SRSLY - it isn't being used. It is looked at according to Vanessa Fox years ago but who knows now and even then she said it was not used.

What it is mainly used for is by scrapers.

As Yoms says definately a comma. Wouldn't give them too much attention and keep fairly brief.
