As a blogger we create post daily with appropriate post title. Sometime we use some post title where we need to use some related keywords. Suppose a post title can be written like below-

‘’Basic SEO guidelines for Blogger, Wordpress, Zoomla and other free blogging platform’’

I have used (,) comma here to isolate related keywords. Because we are familiar with comma but apart from this what else we can use in isolate related keywords on blog post title. This is a confusing matter that which symbols we can use in blog post title. Which symbol Google Search engine likes and which one dislikes?

There are different wrong SEO floating over the net which has published many SEO agencies but blogger become confused about correct one.

Remember that every word in post title has significance to divert traffic from search engine. Which keywords best match with search query Search Engine bring those post title at the top of the SERPs (Search Engine Result pages). We have got many article about ‘’Content is King’’ rather your post title would be the king if you can create by proper optimization.
