I am a title SEO cowboy myself, and i had the second place on the work "Flyttemand" (Mover) and i had all my titles whit the first word in CAPS, only ONE word, but since my site rank 1-3 in over 300 importen words and it become a VERY importen income in our firm, i got afraid the next "panda update" might hit sites acting like this...
After reading the Google SEO book, i made the titel shot and precise just like they say, but changing site titel, put my down in all results, so its REALLY importen to set them up 100% correct one time for all.
We lost alot of clicks changing to not caps and move 2-8 places down cost some income, god think is they move back up slowly, but its like Google notice title is new and then some of you linking to this site not work so well, but when google see the links remaining you move back up... or... you just get a algorithm pennlti for changing titles.
Thx for all your replys!!

I don't think you can negatively influence your ranking if you use one capped word. I do think that people will be less likely to click on that result. It's harder to read (proven with numerous studies) so I don't suggest you do the same.
If your entire title is on big mash up of capped words, that I think google would consider spammy. But I don't know if they devaluate your title, of simply uncap the words.

To be honst you can not go "down" in the serps for using CAPS in the way they have done.
In the end of the day it comes down to on site and off site SEO factors and how powerful the site is.
If you span with CAPS then yeah you may go down.
The first site in that example is interesting, I am sure the CTR is decent.

Search is always case insensitive - http://me.lt/7ZVGv.
What it can really influence is CTR for SERP. By the way #1 site for your example show up for me.
But be carefully to avoid "looks like spam" snippet for you site.

Site migration 301's list on Apache server - when do I take the old migrated URLs off our 301 list?
Howdy! The site was migrated last year to a new platform, therefore the URLs were migrated over using 301 redirect rules. Since then, the server has a huuuuge list of rules for URLs and I wanted to know when can we start taking these off of the list? And, how can I test to see if they are still indexing, do I simply just add the url to the google search bar? Thanks Guys! Kay

SEO Ads On Third Party Job Sites?
Hello all, I seriously doubt I will get a reply to this as I'm guessing no one has experience with it. if you do though then I would appreciate any information either via comment or PM. Basically, I need to know how I can improve the rankings of job posts within the third party sites. An example would be totaljobs.com, how can I improve the rankings of advertisements that are posted there or is it simply ranked by date and location?. When I had my eBay business, I did a lot of research on eBay SEO and discovered some important factors for ranking within the eBay website. I'm basically wanting to do the same here on job board websites for job ads posted to them. Their algorithms won't be as advanced as Google etc so I'm guessing if they do they will be open for higher keyword density levels and that kind of thing.. I've googled it quite a bit and can't find any information at all on it. Thanks.

Multilingual site (rel="alternate" hreflang="x")
Hi there, We have a multilingual site with same content translated into different languages. Some are also in different countries with same language. The issue with our site is that international Google SERP shows our US site before their own country/language site. In order to resolve this issue, we implemented the following rel="alternate" hreflang="x" across all locales: After testing these out, our US site still shows up on search results in other countries (checked after 2 months). Are we missing something here? Our guess is that it's not working because we are missing canonical tags or meta language code (). Thanks in advance.
