Does adding comma's in title affect search

[NatashasDesignz]

Hi all

I have a question that is bugging me

Someone suggested yesterday that I may not be seen as much because I use Comma's to separate wording in my title

Does anyone know if this could be the case?

I'm in the process of removing my comma's now

No, punctuation does not affect relevancy in search.

The only time commas will cause problems is if you don't leave a space after them.

Search engines will remove all punctuation from a title so if there isn't at least one space after the comma a phrase such as

Flower tote bag,Rose tote bag

ends up looking like
Flower tote bagRose tote bag
to a search engine.

Oh that's really good to know (about the spacing) I think I might of done this in quite a few on my listings. Opps.

I just skip them. . .

I say skip the punctuation, too. Commas use up your total number of spaces and the more SEO words you can fit in the better.

Ok thanks, I will bare that in mind with any new uploads :-)
