The Vertical Bar for SEO

Do you know the Vertical Bar? 

yes this keyword button most of us do not use.  

Now, try to search for:

 

long winding road, 

then, long – winding road, 

then, long — winding road, 

and finally,  long | winding road.

Notice how Google ignores the dashes but not the vertical bar? 

That bar separates long and winding, not just visually, but in the Google algorithm. 

Hint: If your website uses the vertical bar, experiment by replacing it with a dash and see what happens.
