just a quick question.. Ive been working on a site for about 12 months this is when the website launched ive managed to get top 5 in most keywords in a very hard niche "watches" The site is ecommerce not a blog so it's a little hard to SEO than a blog imo. The problem now i face is certain keyword rank very well i.e. "Police Watches" 3 - 5th in google.co.uk but if the search term is lower case i.e. police watches the results are third page. The site itself has alexa around 1 mill PR4 internal pages are all pr3 If you want the domain PM me would love to hear your thoughts. Any advice would be great!
I will only say the that Google consider both as same. yeh it is different if you add 'S' at the end of keyword.
Check out this two link with and without capital later http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=SEO&btnG=Google+Search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=seo&btnG=Google+Search both have same result.
either Capital or lower case letter it is the same approach for google, it will not affect the page optimization...
It's happening because of your competitor has built all his links on "police watches" and you never did that. You built all your incoming links on "Police Watches" Don't build your incoming links on proper case like "Police Watches". It should be always built on smaller words like "police watches". If you build your links on smaller words then Google will rank it for any case like "Police Watches" or "POLICE WATCHES".
This is an interesting thought, but does the capitalization of anchor text really make that much of a difference? To some extent it sounds plausible, but it's not something I would assume so easily, we need some more evidence.
This is something which Google introduced about 3 months, they are trying to broaden there search patterns and I think it's all to do with market research at Google, But its the same with my sites the best thing to do is make sure that you have both terms linked (capitals and non capitals) in your content, maybe for a suggestion, if your site has a search page, create a small section yourself and call it something like popular searches and add both terms in there, will work both for Google and your internal link structure. Hope this helps.
