CamelCase vs lowernodash

[MRCSearch]

I'm in the process of reviewing on-site URL structure on a few sites, and I've run into something I can't decide between.

I am forced to choose between the two examples:

MediaRoom/CaseStudies.aspx  (camel case)

mediaroom/casestudies (all lower case, mashed, no dashes)

I would personally rather see:

media-room/case-studies/

However implementing the dashes would require manually re-writing about ~10,000 URLs. Implementing 301s from the existing structure to whatever I choose would be trivial, so there is no concern there.

Given the choice between CamelCase and lower-mashed, which would you choose? Why?

lower case.

you will run into canonicall problems if you start using caps.

Since the pags are aspx, it is running on a IIS server. I would install the IIS url rewrit module if its not alrerady installed. And force lowercase very easy interface

See here http://thatsit.com.au/seo/tutorials/how-to-fix-canonical-issues-involving-the-upper-and-lower-case

Also there are really easy url rewrite solutions included in the module, a lot easier then rewiting the atucal urls.

A tip. take a copy of the web.config file after, just incase you overwrite it later and lose of your rewrites

I agree with Alan 100%.  There are some great options you can do with IIS rewrites.
