If I search Google for "keyword suggestion service", one of my seo tool pages comes up on page one TWICE. Take a look here http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...estion+service
For some reason Google is indexing the url with and without capitals as different pages. "http://www.searchbliss.com/SEO-Tools/" & "http://www.searchbliss.com/seo-tools/" like they're two different pages. G did this with a lot of my seo tools. Why? For such a "smart bot" you'd think it would ignore caps in URLs.

The question now is, will G penalize my site for "duplicate content" or will G take responsability. Will this help or hurt?

*nix servers are case sensitive for filenames, Windows servers are not. So the search engines have to be case sensitive to allow for both eventualities.
Therefore SEO-tools is not the same as seo-tools or Seo-Tools or SEO-TOOLS or any other combination of case.
So we can conclude your site is on IIS and somewhere in the WWW someone has a link to the page with mixed case, maybe even yourself

sounds a good case for a little asp redirect in the page to correct it, just to avoid the dup filter picking the wrong one.

G will not penalize but more probably it should not penalize for a very simple reason that if you are on Win server you can acess the same page with the Caps on and OFf URL.

That's good to know, thanks. Also I have checked my site to see if it on my end (the mixed cases) and it is not. However, the cached mixed case SEO-Tools are linked with SEO-Tools. These pages are really outdated in G's cache.
