Default Good God...Please tell me I'm wrong

I'm just finding out right now that keywords are case sensitive?!?!?!?!?!?!

If this is true, I think I'll go drive into a semi!!!

Can someone verify?

OK, stay away from that traffic tool too! Traffic is just not your thing.

I am kidding with you, BTW. My crappy humor translates even worse in words.

I really don't know outside of the bounds of G. I know that they will auto add derivatives of keywords where they makes sense. In the end, G is the onlything you need to optimize for. The rest will follow.

Lydia, Hawkeye,....thank you for setting me straight. I was about to start bashing my head into the keyboard here. My community is now safer.


Thanks again

Actually you are not quite accurate guys - Capitolization DOES make a difference in many cases

http://www.google.ca/search?num=100&...G=Search&meta=
VS
http://www.google.ca/search?num=100&...G=Search&meta=

When it comes to state abbreviations, it makes a difference, and some other select cases.

But for the most part, it is not a big deal.

Morristown is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Good God...Please tell me I'm wrong

But don't the vast majority of people just automatically capitalize state abbreviations??

I doubt they would capitalize state abbreviations in a search query.

I do all the time. I think it all depends on how anal you are. About that kind of stuff, I'm pretty knit picky - if that's even a term.
