Preferred URL Format?

    I have a question regarding the following...

    Out of the 2 URLs below, which do you think
    is the best to use for our website pages:

    1) mydomainnamehere.com/Page-Title.[extension]
    or
    2) mydomainnamehere.com/page-title.[extension]


    I tend to use the first format for my website pages
    but I'd like to know if there's more benefits in
    using a particular format as far as SEO is concerned.


    Thanks for your attention.

    I am really not getting your question, is there any one else who is able to understand and able to recognise the difference.

    the only difference is the letter case? or not?

    Yes...

    I'm referring to the letter case:

    1) mydomainnamehere.com/Page-Title.[extension]

    2) mydomainnamehere.com/page-title.[extension]

    Page-Title vs. page-title

    I'd also like to know if the same applies to folders
    and sub-folders like:

    1) mydomainnamehere.com/Folder01/Sub-Folder02/Page-Title.[extension]

    2) mydomainnamehere.com/folder01/sub-folder02/page-title.[extension]


    Again, I like the first format and just wanted to know if one
    has any advantage over the other regarding SEO.

    Thanks.

    P.S. My doubt is that I read somewhere (don't remember
    where - not in DP I believe) that one should follow the
    second format.

    Always use lower case IMO.

    Neither will have any effect on SEO, just looks neater.

    lower case url format will be better.
