Does Capitalization Matters For Keyword SERP?

    Something really strange is happening. My site http://www.Jihoy.com is ranked differently, for keyword "Free Advertising" versus "free advertising" when both means the same thing.

    How can that be? I thought Google doesn't look at capitalization, those two should have the same SERP, yet I see "free advertising" on #7 with 179,000,000 results, and "Free Advertising" on #16 with 188,000,000 results.

    O, and Google keyword tool sucks, there is no way that keyword gets 246,000 searches monthly.

    Anyone can tell me what's going on? Thanks, I am fairly new with this SEO stuff.

    Capitalization won't make a difference.

    Well, I see that it is making a difference to you. Who knows whether google has changed its algorithm to accept capitalization of letters as well.

    I think you better check some really good SEO specialized forums and SEO blogs...

    I would ask you to visit seobook.com's blog and ask this question as a comment.

    If you like my advice, do let me know / rep me / reply here. Feel free to PM me if you need help. Thanks.

    Log out of gmail, clear cookies, then try again, also depending on your ip and location you will see different results. Google search results are becoming more and more localized.
