Having capital letters in domain

Say I had:

www.domain.com/SubFolder

would this make any different to indexing and finding my site for keywords?

I am thinking it takes S the same as s and F the same as f. Is this right?

thanks

 

I think capital letter have little or no effect on search engine

 

I was wondering why they are not used much then.

I think they make the page look better. e.g. SubPage is better then subpage or sub-page.

 

No effect. Not used mainly because it bears the same meaning except imposing more strength for the word.

 

The only difference here is visual, lower vs. upper-case makes no difference to the search engines.

Only problem that I see is that a person typing the url into the address box usine all-lower case may get a 404

 

SubFolder, subFolder and subfolder are the same urls for google and the others

 

I think using capital letters for folders will not help in SEO.

I suggest you don't use capital letters as if a person want to view a page in your site and he type the address, then its easy for the users to remember and type URL with no capital letters.

 

It makes no difference for indexing, but it could cause problems for users depending on your server.

On IIS, URL's are case insensitive, therefore /SubFolder is the same as /subfolder.

On other platforms URLs are case sensitive, therefore /SubFolder is NOT the same as /subfolder. Whichever one is incorrect will return a 404 error.

Google will index the URL using the case used in your links, as long as the link does not return a 404 error.

 

Nothing more, they are just the same and have no effect on SE's. The importance there is naming the sub folder related to the target keywords.

 

same thoughts

uppercase letters won't leave any effect in G's SERP

 

It would make no difference.
Just use this structure and you will be fine: www.domain.com/subfolder

 

although I will suggest him to use it as /SubFolder when he leaves his domain as link on various forums etc.

It just looks better...

that is what i do when I leave the link to my forum

I write http://www.theSenorita.com/forums instead of http://www.thesenorita.com/forums

it becomes a lot readable and might succeed in bringing in one extra user..

 

Although URL's are not Case Sensitive and nor google search is but SubDir are case-sensitive your visitor might get annoyed with that. Check my article Limit of characters in URL this will be helpful in understanding this better !!

 

No diffrence ppl use it less coz no one prefers writing capital in the site URL area

 

I think there is no difference. just submit your site and wait until your site is index.

 

It's standard in the web design/development industry to only code for lower case URLS, keywords, etc.

 

for me all lower case have much better look then with some caps

 

I think they are same.
