I didn't now where this problem fit but it does have something to do with Adsense since it is the tracking method. When I go to create a new URL channel such as "www.abc.com/Apple-Bike-Corn.html" when I copy the page exactly as above, when I paste it in to the URL Channel name is changes all of the capitals into lower case. Thus it will not track the herein named page. I only have one so far out of 67 that this happens to. I have tried to manually type in the name but it also changes that from caps to lower case. Any ideas? Thank you.

I still need help or ideas on this. I have tried everything I can think of with no results. This is the only time I have had this problem. Thanks.

Unix type servers are known for this action.

When you upload your pages to 'nix server it gets changed in the process..at least it did for me.

As a rule avoid using capitals in your URLs and you won't run into that sort of problem.

I just thought the capitals mad the url look more "proper". But if it screws things up then it doesn't even work. It is wierd that it works find on 67 or 68 pages and not on page number 69. Thanks for the help.

On a UNIX or LINUX server, foo.html and Foo.html are different files.

On any Microsoft box, they are two different names for the same file.

This causes no end of issues, not just with AdSense channels.

I only use upper case in the domain name (where my servers are set such that both will work) and never on the page name - so it would be MySite.com/foo.html

As a general rule, it's good to keep upper case letters, spaces, and punctuation out of your file names and urls.
