---- Capital Letters (Pascal Casing) in URLs - Advantages and Disadvantages


dailypress - 5:24 pm on May 16, 2008 (gmt 0)


I noticed CNN uses some capital letters and sometimes whole words in capital in their URL. Here is what I thought of the advantages and disadvantages and please feel free to share some more ideas.

The advantages:

  • You make the word stand out
  • Some search engines might put more emphasis on those words

    The disadvantages:

  • It makes it more difficult for users to type in the URL or suggest the link via phone.
  • It may confuse users, making them think URL’s like domains are not case sensitive at all.
