Question on moving Joomla Site Into Wordpress and SEO issue

Josh Belanger · 04-17-2011, 03:03 PM

Hello,

I currently have a site using Joomla CMS and looking to move that into Wordpress for many reasons. I have a lot of posts and while some are indexed they do not bring any kind of traffic as the info on the post is dated and is useless now.

My question is, does it make sense to scrap the posts that are not getting me traffic and just focus on 301 directs for the ones that are? Since Joomla uses .hmtl extentions and Wordpress does not I would need to do an 301 redirect for each high ranking URL.

Thanks gang

Why did you use the extension option in joomla for the .html? You don't have to do that.

Why would you want to move from joomla to wordpress anyway? It is usually the other way around.

As far As I know all pages are put in a .html format in joomla. Moving to Wordpress will make things simpler using DAP and WP instead of aMember and Joomla.
