Hi

We've recently started using {keyword: Widgets}.

The problem I have is that if someone searches for 'blue widgets', they will see the title of our adword like this:

'blue widgets'

instead of like this:

'Blue Widgets'

Is there a way to make the first letter of each word appear in uppercase?

Thanks :-)

{KeyWord:The Title} will show as The Title
{keyword:The Title} will show as the title
{KEYWORD:The Title} will show as THE TITLE

it's all in 'keyword'.

AFAIK, no. Adwords TOS state that you can't have multiple uppercase in sentances unless it's a trademark (ie Microsoft Windows XP is OK, Jims Tasty Donuts isn't).

Not true.

I Can Have an Ad
that Looks Like This!

Capatilizing parts of a sentance draw attention to words.
The above title has a different feel than:

I can have an Ad
that looks like This!

Well I'll be. Did this change at any point? I'm sure that waaay back when I had an ad disapproved for this.

>{keyword:The Title} will show as the title
>{KEYWORD:The Title} will show as THE TITLE

And don't forget:
{Keyword:The Title} will show as The title

Will that still work with three words in the title.

Can I change "fuzzy blue widgets" to "Fuzzy Blue Widgets"

I didn't know about functionality like this. Can anyone point me toward more info on this bracketed keyword stuff?

"Will that still work with three words in the title."

Nevermind I went and tried it and "KeyWord" works for all the words in the title, also in the body.

Thanks for the great tip eWhisper. Previously I went and changed all my keywords to start with a capital letter hoping that would work, but it didn't.

Thanks novice.

That seems like it could really increase clicks. My biggest problem is weeding out the clicks I don't want.
