Just a quick question for everyone out there. I thought that stuffing your title with keywords was a quick way to get you crushed by the google monster. I am seeing it more and more where companies are setting up their titles like this:
Company | Keyword - Keyword - Keyword
Did something change to where this is allowed? I just did a search on google for seo company, and the first four companies were like this, with one of them being especially bad.
Just want to hear what everyone else thinks on this subject. I would say it depends on whether or not the sentence reads properly, whether the keywords repeat often and proximity of the repeated words to each other. Do you have any examples we can look at? I suspect keywords in a Spammy looking title will probably be given less weight than keywords in a well written title rather than the site being penalised too much. There may be legitimate reasons for some titles to separate their keywords in this way and it would be hard for the big G to make this kind of distinction... if there are only a small number of keywords I don't think this would be considered Spammy.

And an article from seomoz that tries to answer your question. It was an eye opener for me to say the least. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/im-getting-more-worried-about-the-effectiveness-of-webspam
Apparently the spamming technique still works, but one article I read said they hoped that Google would sort the problem out soon and penalize these sites. If they do that, there are going to be a lot of companies suffering for it.
I hope this helps you a bit.
this is not actually bad for your site. You just have to limit your keywords to 2-3, and make sure you write them in a way that is not too spammy. I suppose you could trip a negative ranking filter for stuffing your title, but I rather doubt it. Keyword stuffing in the spamdexing sense is more about text on the page. And you have to really overdo it to trip that filter.
This particular company is not getting that term because of title stuffing; it's getting it from quality and quantity of incoming links. Its domain name alone means that any link using domain name as anchor text, still has its term as anchor text, for a start.
I'm not saying the repetition doesn't help, but I am saying it's not going to push them to the top without a lot else in their favor.
