Google toolbar PR question / issue

PR4 for Widget-Widet.html vs PR0 for widget-widget.html

[howiejs]

The second strange thing I have found in google while trying to figure out what is going on.

The toolbar PR is 4 for /Widget-Widget.html versus
PR 0 fore widget-widget.html

Is this common?

(I am hosting on a NT server)

URLs on the World Wide Web are case sensitive, so /Widget-Widget.html and /widget-widget.html are different URLs.

If both are linked to or submitted, then both can be listed.

If they happen to return identical content, then Google is likely to merge them.

I noticed a while back that in the SERPs the KW in the URL is not in bold when the case is different.

Probably doesn't mean anything - I hope!

Yep. Only domain names are case insensitive. Odd that you would have this issue. /Widget-Widget.html on my sites is just a 404 error. People who deep link tend to get it right. I don't bother when it comes to URLs to consider case issues.

I noticed that Capital searches bold non capital URL words but I couldn't get a Capital in the URL to bold either way.

Chicago widgets returned a bolded /chicago-widgets.html but a plain text /Chicago-widgets.html.

Case insensitivity is the default on IIS, but not on Apache. Of course you can choose on either server.
