capitalisation no longer matters?

[Aaron]

Up to recently, i find that searching for "Widgets" versus "widgets" gets u pretty different results in the rankings.

But the latest update seems to have changed this?

Can someone confirm this? I only did a couple of random checks..

You are right!

and no difference from "keyword" versus "KEYWORD"

CAPITAL doorway page are not still important.

There definitely seems to be a change of some sort, but I have managed to produce different results for:-
a) keyword1 + keyword2
b) Keyword1 + keyword2
c) Keyword1 + Keyword2
d) keyword1 + Keyword2

where keyword 1 is a name and should have an initial capital and keyword 2 is just a word and should be lower case, my pages are in format 'c' and used to only show up for those searches, but i am now competitive on all four combinations. My main competitor has format 'b' (which is technically the correct one) but they are totally buried for a search of format 'c' or 'd'.

Not really quite sure what to make of it - but i'm happy, at the moment anyway!
