  • Errors in Google Products Search
    Excessive capitalized text in product titles and descriptions are  causing errors in our Google Products Feed. This means if you have products with excessive capitalized text, they will be excluded from the submission to Google Products Search, decreasing traffic from Google to your product pages.

  • Difficulty Reading
    From usability perspective,  capitalized text in more than one word makes it difficult to read.

    Try to read these product titles:
    ENCHANTING HAND PAINTED "AMETHYST" LEAD FREE CANDLE HOLDER
    CALLIE'S MUFFIN SNUFF TIN , SECRET HIDEAWAY VINTAGE IDEAL
    UNIQUE WOOD AND CLOTHE CUSTOM MADE COUNTRY SHELF DOLL - MOTHER'S DAY
    ONE DOZEN 12 ITS A BOY ITS A GIRL BABY SHOWER FAVOR OR ANNOUNCEMENT HANDPAINTED
    CALLIE'S SET OF 2 BABIES FIRST SOFT CLOTH DOLLS BLUES GINGHAM SO CUTE

  • Shouting
    In the online world capitalized text is considered shouting. We get complaints on Twitter about our product feeds that contain capitalized product titles.

I understand that every letter should not be capitalized because it looks like shouting.  But what about the first letter of every word?

Should:
Handmade Journal Stitch Bound
be
Handmade journal stitch bound
Huh

I personally think "Handmade Journal Stitch Bound" reads better, so I always capitalize first letter of every word in Titles.
