A warning - I turned off the AMP plug in and it effectively removed my site from Google for a week or so.

The Google cache takes ages to clear away all the now-dead links and will serve 404s to your users. A nice incentive to stay trapped in their monoculture.
- niutech 9y agoYou can redirect users to the full-blown pages, using e.g. mod_rewrite.
- edent 9y agoIf you'd like to set that up for me on a few thousand pages - that'd be swell :-)
- mthoms 9y agoI'm curious, besides the short term problem, how was your ranking affected overall?
- edent 9y agoHard to say. The 404s have dropped off, and I still appear in the results. But I'm not sure of any way to tell definitively.
