Comments on: What's The Best Way To Tag Multi-Word Company Names? http://www.cardeo.ca/2008/whats-the-best-way-to-tag-multi-word-company-names Ramblings on web design and social media Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:20:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: admin http://www.cardeo.ca/2008/whats-the-best-way-to-tag-multi-word-company-names/comment-page-1#comment-350 admin Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:30:41 +0000 http://cardeo.ca/?p=722#comment-350 I think I agree with you for the most part. The one area where it may make more sense to separate by commas is if the user does not know the full name of the company or makes a spelling error. For example, many people pronounce the name of my website cardero, due to the fact that there is a street in vancouver called Cardero. I know silly but it is a small regional problem. So the question I'm getting at, using that for an example, is what is more effective: cardeo, design, blog or cardeo-design-blog; assuming they enter "cardero design blog" into a search engine. At least the search engine might still return a high ranking based on design, and blog only. I know this is kind of an odd occurrence but something to consider. Thanks for your input! I usually use the company-name dashed format when I tag. I think I agree with you for the most part.

It unifies the words as a phrase or a long tail key word. Comma's in between each word will separate them which is not the goal here. Bunching them together might be affective but you can't be sure that the search engine will separate the words. five-second-test is the correct way to tag your site name.
