Big and little letters in URL?

On one of the sites there constantly were links to the page:
site.com/Url.html.
In google search results in snippet the page is defined as
"site.com/Url.html".
If now use external factors for optimizing site.com/url.html google
will:
1. count them as one and sum up the weight?
2. count them as different.
3. count them as different while after some time will glue them and
sum up the weight.

Which answer is correct? Or your answer.

 

Dont use Caps in URLS as It will result in Loss nothing else !!

website.com/Category is different then website.com/category

So no use !!

2. count them as different

site.com/url.html

is not equal to

site.com/Url.html

 

that would only be on linux/unix servers.. from ISS servers (microsoft) point of view they were the same. Dont know if its the same on new versions..

IMHO, capital letters can be used, I do, but sooner or later (sh**t happens) I've realised there are "not found" errors due to spelling errors , my mistakes actually.. (I use linux hosting) so it is best to not to make it a habbit. Always try not to use capital letters for urls.

SE point of view;
if you had two urls , domain.com/Mypage.htm and domain.com/mypage.htm
I just think that they would be treated the same..

 

Window based servers unfortunately treat all capitalized versions as the same URL:

Capital.html
caPITAL.html
cApital.html

all return a 200 status code.

For Google, they're all different URLs. If there are backlinks pointing to various versions, that'll result in split PageRank and canonical issues.

Ideally, you want to stick with lower case URLs and return 404 for capitalized versions. In reality, its not a huge problem as long as people don't link to the wrong versions.

 

Not going in Deep, capital letters are treated differently by G, so better not to use them in URL.

 

only domain part has no different

dmoz directory is a big example
