    Only some search engines will penalize you for using "ALL CAPITAL LETTERS" in the title. This is all i know.

    When you say "using capitals", do you mean ALL Capital letters or just the first letter in each word??

    Using Capitalised Title Case is Supposed to Improve Clickthrough Rates.

    the research on that is quite old though, not sure how it stands up today, havent tested ourselves.

    we just always do it like that.

    I see the Skinny here blog will never promote caps in the url extension so why should you add them in the tags...... I think not using caps is better ...........

    if it is all capital letters, then it is bad for your site! Capital Title gives bad impression to your visitor. It would look unprofessional and spammy. I would suggest you just use upper case letter in the beginning of a word not totally the whole word.

    Like all agreed... Title Case Is Always Great.. ALL CAPS SIMPLY DISAPPOINT YOUR READERS..

    Upon that, if your title tag is catchy while covering the most important keyword (s), it is all the more converting.

    Cheers!
