Hi all:

I couldn't find this by doing a search, so was hoping someone could help.

When I enter my Meta keywords for my shop, do I need to put a separator between each word/phrase?

I don't know much about Meta keywords, but can "phrases" be used? Or are meta keywords just individual words?

And finally, what is the difference between Meta keywords and Meta description?

Thanks for your help!

Interesting.... and it shows keywords/phrases separated by commas. So if I choose to use meta tag keywords, I need to insert commas where I need them? In the "Death of a Meta-Tag" article, it mentions this is a source of confusion with page authors.... :)
