I very much agree to this one! Good answer for the question.
-
What about a colon?
-
I think it is best to use pipes to separate site names from topics..
siteName.com | Test Page and reserve dashes for other things
-
I think there is another answer to this question....
dashes win with usability in the sense that every one is going to know ho to use a dash and will be able to easily type it in a browser and they will ofcourse see it.
pipes will have better click through bc they are less intrusive or alienaiting. Dashes are tacky looking, so are pipes but pipes go over looked.
use pipes....
actually use dashes.
ha.

A pipe symbol is the verticle bar. It is the shift-\ key. \ is the backslash. That key is right above the "Enter" key.
So, shift-backslash will give you the "pipe'.

I'm pretty sure a pipe is a | which is not an ell "l"

If you have a pipe in the middle of a group of words and someone searches for those word as an exact phrase the version with pipes will not show up, but the version with hyphens will.
