A title tag is a piece of HTML code that describes a specific web pages content through a keyword query that a person types into a search engine. Title Tags are a very important guide for all search engines in determining what is in the content of a specific web page.Search engines compare text in the title tag against actual textual content on your page to rate relevancy. If the two are not related this will decrease your ranking.

You can use any, it doesn’t affect ranking. It is matter of personal choice.

Normally I use hyphen to separate the keywords with the website name/business name and comma to separate keywords.

As I explained in the FAQ it all depends on the nature and business of website.
Having too many keywords which goes beyond 65 characters will be truncated by Google.

Having too less words will not covey the true nature of your website either.

So you have to balance it between SEO and nature of your website.

I tend to add more keywords on the home page while restricting the sub pages to have very few specific keywords in the title tag.

Do you think adding too many keywords in the title tag bring any benefit?

Souldn’t we have less keywords in the title tag?
