You brought this up before [HTML and php versions of my site were live for about a week. Now lost all rankings](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/html-and-php-versions-of-my-site-were-live-for-about-a-week-now-lost-all-rankings/16900/2) The worst google might think is you have duplicate content, that should not cause the kind of drop in SERP ranking that you’ve described. When someone types or links to a website, they don’t usually use the full address. [https://www.example.com/index.html](https://www.example.com/index.html) A link to that site would normally be more like [Www.example.com](http://Www.example.com) As I showed you on the previous post google hadn’t even indexed the PHP version of your site. Now you may very well be in the search engine penalty box, but I don’t think it’s because of your PHP vs HTML pages. IMO you’re “SEO expert” doesn’t Have a clue about SEO if they think changing industry standard relative navigation links to absolute URL’s would have any impact on your SERP ranking. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/need-to-be-able-to-edit-navigation-code-to-point-homepage-to-absolute-url/17083)._
