    If i want to remove amp from the site should i just deactivate and delete the plugin or do i need to add redirection (from amp urls to site urls)

    what happens to amp page results already ranking on the search pages ie when a user finds an amp url and he clicks on it – would it automatically go to the non amp url after deleting the plugin.

    As a solution I read this somewhere – you should disable all the “Content types enabled for AMP” for one week and this will non-index the pages properly and then deactivate the plugin – is this correct?

    Sorry, i need a little hand holding with this.

    Amp is first class, gave site great speed, and in trasitional mode works beautifully on the site with no errors but the ad management plugin support says it is not great for revenue,(do not know why, but something to do with ‘not many sites using”) so sorry to have to let it go.

    As per the page you linked to

    1. disable the plugin
    2. add redirection of amp url to site url

    These are the steps, right ? The second step is to be done right after the first step?
    if i do these, the amp pages already on the search pages – when some one clicks on them, will go directly to non amp pages, right?

    Yes, those are steps to follow. alternatively use the tool mentioned in the guide to remove the AMP version of the Page.

    May I know which ad management plugin suggested that you should remove AMP? did you asked him “why he thinks AMP is affecting your ad revenue?”

    Google search is rolling out Page experience as one of the ranking signals, and AMP is a cost effective way to achieve great page experinace.

    This means your AMP page will be ranked higher where it’s competing against similar search results, which means you get more page views and more page views are equal to more ad revenue right?

    Hi Weston,
    I am sorry for duplicating the topic. Do not want to do anything wrong. Yes, you did explain clearly in the earlier topic, but i was again worried about pages already in the search pages – but as you said, they will see the non amp pages, right?

    Regarding the ad management plugin – yes, they did say that -reasons ‘because sites with amp earn a lot less’; “less companies willing to advertise in amp”. etc. Maybe they have some experience about this.

    Amp is better for page experience and speed and it is free cdn use. I have decided to keep it.
