When typing in keywords, Do I space after comma before next word?

[Craig]

Im unsure whether or not when typing keywords on my web page I should space
after the comma:

art,portraits,artist,artists

or

art, portraits, artist, artists

 

[Tom [Pepper] Willett]

The standard is separated by a comma with no space, but you actually don't
even need commas, just use a space.

And, you don't even need meta tag keywords, as most of the major search
engines no longer use them. They look for keywords in your html files.

Craig -- and others -- everything -- Willet just claimed is fallacious,
false, untrustworthy, and no, I will not be defending my criticism further
but to say I know this dude from a serious encounter I had with him and
others who attempted to deceive merchants using the StoreFront e-commerce
software after I discovered merchant databases were being exposed by a
security flaw in that software which I also wrote the patch for.

Now I could write a whole tutorial to prove Willet is FOS -- because he
is -- but its best I refer you and any others who want to learn Search
Engine Optimization (SEO) to Danny Sullivan's website. Danny Sullivan is
considered to be the best of the best, and is widely considered -- globally
in fact -- to have developed the web's best website to learn about this
subject matter. When you go to Danny's website at
http://searchenginewatch.com/ you can read and learn from trustworthy and up
to date articles and tutorials. I also highly recommend you subscribe to one
or more of Danny's newsletters.

For now though, always use commas to delineate lists of meta data keywords
and phrases. Use white space after the comma to maintain human readability.
Many search engines including MSN and Yahoo still use meta data for various
purposes. You will learn these facts, best practices, and more at Danny
Sullivan's website.
