    I do not think so. We use capital letters for proper nouns like names, cities. Usually sites and blogs addressing a niche does'nt need to have capital letters. I think one should concentrate on keywords relating to the topic and content. This is my view.

      I don't think Google meta crawler is case sensitive. So CAPITAL LETTER does not effect your position in SERP.

      But I do suggest you to Capitalise First Letter yout TITLE to get most attention from SERP visitors.

      Hope this help!

    Capital letters do not have an effect on your rankings. Google fo 1 is not case sensative.

    I think this because if you enter terms to the Google keyword tool and use capitals when you get the results they will all be in lower case.

    Why Then does Google mention this in Crawler Stats as something to watch out for.

    Where does it mention that? I suppose if you were to have a long page of twxt that was in all capitals it might be hard to read and go against the user experience and in that case maybe capitals would effect the SERP's.

    No they don't because if a user is searching for some query then if he/she uses some capital letters in search query then Google will generate same results for both capital and small letters.

    It is the same either way. The only thing that they will look for is bold, underline, and italics. Those have codes around them and can be read by the bot. I have never heard nor read anything about capitals affecting anything.

    In our opinion it doesn't matter capital and small letter, but if you use singular and plural than it give different result.
