I've recently changed URLs to lower case. I'm also suffering from about 15% traffic drop from search engines, which started about a week after my change. Can this be related?
This is what I've done. Till now I've had all pages URLs look like this http://mydomain.com/folder/Page
. And all internal links in the site were also to http://mydomain.com/folder/Page2
.
All these have now turned into: http://mydomain.com/folder/page
and http://mydomain.com/folder/page2
.
And the page that still exists at http://mydomain.com/folder/Page
has been add this in HTML <head>
:
<link rel="canonical" href="/folder/page" />
Have I done anything wrong? Would you recommend me to put it back to the way it was?
