MSN Results with Domain ALL CAPS?
Today I was doing a search on MSN, something I haven’t done in a long time. I was searching for the term “Spyware Protection”, and I was SHOCKED to see the organic result had the domain in ALL CAPS!
This is a link to the search:
http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=spyware+protection&FORM=MSNH
Here is a screen shot:
I have never seen anything like this before. I did a search for spyware-protection.org on Google and Yahoo and the domain was all lowercase. The only other thing I can think is the site was registered with Live Webmaster Center with the domain in all caps. To test this hypothesis, I submitted Sweet Rock Media like so: http://www.SWEETrockMEDIA.com. I seriously doubt that it will have any effect, but its worth a try.
I think having the domain listed in all caps can result in a huge benefit for online marketers when it comes to organic traffic. This adds the opportunity to make your organic listing stand out, it won’t just be a matter of creative writing anymore, in MSN anyway.
Have you ever seen anything like this before?
Maybe Microsoft made SPYWARE-PROTECTION.ORG a special deal?
That’s really bizarre. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
