How many of you have seen sites which use special characters \/ smileys in their title and meta tags. I have personally come across a lot of sites doing it .<\/p>\n

Having smiley’s in title and targeting a commercial audience IMO is not a great idea. when people are looking for professional company to do service for them its better we stay away from all those playful stuff in titles but if its a site servicing a crowd that likes stuff like that we can definitely do it.<\/p>\n

Whether it affects ROI or not is a question we never tested it if someone has tested please post your experiences here<\/p>\n
