Should I Separate Words and Phrases in My Keyword Meta Tag by Commas?

There's a continuing debate about whether to separate each keyword in the meta keyword tag by a comma, or to group related words (i.e., phrases) by commas, or to list all the words in one long string separating each word only by a spaces.

Which method is better? The most common method is separating each word or phrase by a comma. However, many experts contend that the search engines ignore the commas. So by eliminating them, you can include more words in the tag. Frankly, it won't likely affect your rankings either way. Use whichever method you're comfortable with since there are more important things to worry about.
