Default Re: HELP: Why is PR different on URL when capitalized instead of Lowercase ?

You will see a duplicate content issue with different case URL's when it comes to Google. I had a site in .asp where the coding in the functions used capital letters and others were in lower case. Unfortunately, took me too long to figure it out. In many instances, both URL's were removed from the index.

As wige pointed out, be consistant with the URL's.
