Hello,

2 months ago, I noticed a small drop in my traffic. I didn't check it cause sometimes traffic comes and goes.

2 weeks ago, I noticed another drop, making a total loss of 30%. I began checking, and I noticed one page had gone missing.

It was strange.

So, I Googled the following
"sitename + widget"

And I found that Google was listing the following URL
www.sitename.com/widget.php/

Please notice that it has a / and the end. My URL has not. And the page has been live for over 6 years.

So, I found it strange.

Yesterday, I got an additional fall in rankings. Another 10%.

Then I noticed another page had the same issue, and other pages too.

Why the fall in rank? Cause widget.php/ shows a broken page, which users don't like, the bounce, and overtime, causes me to dissapear from ranking.

Why is this happening? I don't get it!
