I changed the {Site Name} of our domain by capitalizing a letter. 48 hours later our SEO rankings are bad. How long does it take to rebound our prior rankings. The {site name} was at the end of every page title.

I changed the {Site Name} of our domain slightly and capitalized a letter. The impact 48 hours later on SEO is really, really bad. How long does it take to recapture our prior rankings and should I change the site name back to the original? The {site name} was at the end of every page title.
Thanks for any help/advice on this. We worked so hard to get our business on the first page for many keywords and "POOF" we are gone now.

Hi Linck
I think it is extremely unlikely that doing this would have killed your rankings in two days.
It's more likely a coincidence with something else that has happened. Think through anything you have done in the last 2-3 weeks that could have had an impact, check your Webmaster Tools Reports and make sure Google are not reporting any issues.

I agree with Peter, changing the capitalization of your titles isn't going to have that kind of an influence. The fact that one of the blocks on your site was down is far more likely to have an impact on this as this changed the structure of the page in a greater way. I get your frustration, I think most of us have been there > done that.

As i think there is something else going wrong, Linck ...
Like above peter said, may be there is mistake done by you while changing the website title. You must again check what happens. Or just PM me the site and keywords i will analyze it for you. Thank

Thanks, how do I PM you my site?

Just to clarify, you're talking about changing the title tag when you mean site name, and not the URL? Changing the URL (even just capitalization) could have an effect.
