Google pr is case sensitive

. After a bit digging way up, I found enough evidence to believe fact that. .

1. Google searches are never case observant - as with we already knew. Google and other look about engines follow this standard.
   
   

There have been a few eeported cases of a very pages being in Google's index 2 or any more times in so far as they were linked to with different cases (ie. /ABC. . Htm, /abc.

Htm, /Abc. //www. Htm) - look over this post. Microsoft servers are set in back talk to the web standard on case sensitivity in which /ABC.

Htm is different from /abc. IIS ignores the case different and gives control of the request to responsible file. Htm.

My site is on a Windows Server, about now guilty is the problem.


Well, it's not going to 'bring come down the internet' as with some lammers might suggest, but then there are issues fact that need to be addressed. It's very unlikely a website would be penalized in behalf of this, but then it can definitelly impair your website's ability to rank all right. IIS's choice to ignore case sensitivity means look about engines (which are case observant) will index the scrupulous same satisfied in behalf of different URLs. It makes it specially intricate in behalf of the duplicated page to rank all right in behalf of the terms it targets.



This is only an draw on a if there are two or any more links point to a very URL in a different case.

How can I fix it. You can avoid this problem on the part of always using lowercase in your link tags, but then you can't run down other websites linking into a very URL in weighty letters - such that something must be done on the server so as deal this draw on a.
I can all but shining you "URL Rewrite Junkies" jumping way up and come down with the solution on your hands, but then as with we each and all know, URL Rewrite is a feature only available to proper web-servers, duck soup you'd expect lay eyes in IIS.



A. The only upside is fact that this would work across the board files/scripts/directories on the website. Server Component (IIS alternative to URL Rewrite)
Not gratuitous, not voluntary to setup and can only be installed on your own server.
An alternative in behalf of URL Rewrite in IIS - ISAPI Rewrite. Isapirewrite.

B.

Script (and a bit permanent redirection)
It's gratuitous, it's voluntary to setup and can be installed on any one server, not as late as your own. This means static HTML pages, directories, images, etc would do not care be exposed to this draw on a. The only downside is fact that you can only enforce case sensitiveness in behalf of requests fact that are handled on the part of this script. HOWEVER, if with a bit help from a custom 404 error page you can do without as late as at a guess anything.

But that's a whole other topic. . .

Here's about now you'd enforce case sensitiveness using VB Script.

Code. 5px 20px 20px;">

<% ' Force lowercase URLs
If Request. Rgb(0, 102, 0);">"URL")<>LCase(Request.

ServerVariables("URL")) Then
Response.

Status = 'Permanently Redirected
Response. Rgb(153, 0, 0);">301
Rgb(0, 102, 0);">"Location", LCase(Request. Rgb(0, 102, 0);">"URL"))
Response. ServerVariables(
Bold; color. . Rgb(51, 51, 255);">End If
%>

It doesn't need to be the very at first thing on every page, but then so as carry out a proper permanent redirect, this has to be execute a great time ago any one satisfied is written to the response's off day stream, ie. Before any one HTML or Response.

Write.
