Hi Tanveer,
Please allow me to share a different approach:
http://www.abc-directory.com/site/4381910http://www.abc-directory.com/sitE/4381910The first URL works, the second does not. Why? These are two different URLs. Both Google and SEOmoz understands these are two different URLs. As a human, you perceive the above two URLs as being similar. To a crawler, these are two completely different URLs which are fully capable of displaying completely different information. A similar related topic relates to adding a trailing slash to a URL. http://www.aa-rental.com/Audio_rental.asphttp://www.aa-rental.com/Audio_rental.asp/The above two URLs are seen as different. A fantastic explanation can be seen here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/to-slash-or-not-to-slash.html
The same concept which governs the trailing slash applies to capitalization.

My server actually supports both upper and lower cases. IT is not google webmaster that is giving me this error, they are coming from seomoz crawler.
Do you think fetching both upper and lower cases will fix the issue in google webmaster.?

The behavior you are describing is normal for Google. Those are two unique URLs.
Many of us live in a Windows-based world whereby capitalization is interchangeable. In HTML, an upper-case R is represented by R whereas a lowercase r is represented by r
The two URLs you shared represent two different locations. You may choose to configure your website or webserver to serve users the same webpage, but that is not required. You can choose to provide completely different content on those two URLs. Google knows this and therefore views those URLs independently.
The recommended approach is to always use lowercase letters in your URLs. Otherwise, I would suggest adjusting your server settings to correct the issue.

How long does Moz takes to update DA and PA value?
I used to work daily on my office website https://quintdaily.com/ and follow link building strategy. however, since more than 40-50 days, there is no movement in my DA, as the PA has just lifted up. However, there is no changes in Domain Authority so far. Besides, other than this website, im working on location wise SEO projects, but, i can find those websites Domain Authority changed in less 20 days. Is there is time period in changing the Domain Authority once it touched DA 30+?

Capitalization matters? Are Keywords treated as Case Sensitive?
I have searched the forum for this questions and basically found the following answer: “Neither Google nor SEOmoz treat keywords as case sensitive. For example, “Jobfair” and “jobfair” should return the same results.” http://www.seomoz.org/q/does-capitalization-matter http://www.seomoz.org/q/are-keywords-case-sensitive http://www.seomoz.org/q/capitalisation-of-campaign-keywords-why-does-this-affect-traffic-but-not-rankings How then can it be that I get the following results in the Rankings Report? (see example pic) And more importantly, which one is correct? sCx74sd.jpg

Does capitalization matter?
Does it matter whether you capitalize a keyword in a campaign? Will the data be the same for keywords that are lower case vs proper?
