Thanks! I dodged a bullet. I was going to change all my urls with an & to & the other day, but I decided to ask here first. I'm glad I did. These are very old urls too, maybe 15 years old. I'll just let it be, they rank great.

Hello friends,

Will properly encoding a url hurt my ranking after having it improperly coded? I want to change my & symbols to &

If I go from:
http://www.example.com/product.php?attachment=pins&model=cool

To:
http://www.example.com/product.php?attachment=pins&model=cool

Will I get hurt if I make the leap?

I have a website that gets 200,000 visitors a month. It is a very popular financial tool. I have another website that sells widgets, but honestly, not really related to the financial tool. I would like to help out the unpopular website by giving it a link. What's the professional opinion?
