Does CaPitaLisation affect search results?

Hi, I wanted some opinion. Does the capitalisation you use in the Google search box have an effect on the results it will show?

 

No.

Google is not case sensitive.

Do some searches yourself and see the results.

I think so google is case sensitive but i read this in an article too:
Use capital letters where you would normally (in place names etc.) as this narrows the search down a bit. Or if you are in doubt use small letters. When you use small letters the search engine will look for both capital letters and small letters.

Nope. Capitalize words doesn't affect SERP, Big G will provide same result.

 

Google shows me 92,500,000 results for term "link building" while giving me 92,600,000 for term "LINK BUILDING".
Seems to be have effect.

 

no...you are wrong my friend. capitalization has no affect in the search results. however, you will see different results when you use singular or plural keywords

 

Nop. Either you search a certain KW in lowercase or uppercase letter, it will still give you the same result. Here is the proof:

All Lowercase:

All Uppercase:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...avclient-ff&rlz=1B5GGGL_enPH315PH316&ie=UTF-8

Lower and Upper Case:

Yes.. Google is not case sensitive. But Some times i got different results for using capital letters. I think that is fluctuation happened in google

 

There is no issue with capitalization in ranking. you will get same index ranking in both small and capital cases.

 

I have noticed the odd change when I have tested this in the past, but I just put it down to general flux. It wouldn't make sense for Google to do this.

 

definitely there are some kind of change in the showing of the results with capital letters. I see this all the time in google search.

 

Google is not case sensitive... SERP ranking are same whether you search capital letters or small.

 

This question could be answered yes or no. Check out my blog post at http://gulati.info/2009/03/search-engines-and-capitalization/ for more information.

Thanks!

 

No, capitalization won't affect search results. Google isn't case sensitive. But I personally think, you shouldn't make your title ALL CAPS.

 

Google isn't case sensitive.

Google Bot is might be case sensitive
