Multiple Index's Same WP Site?

I feel really stoopid asking this...but here goes

If I have a blog on WP, and for each page I wanted to add a full blown landing page with headers, graphics, product and buy button...How would I do this?

My problem is I have roughly 70 minisites that I would like to display each on its own page, as prior I have been buying an exact match domain for each and every product.

Since, I am concentrating my efforts on a different marketing strategy, is there a way to upload a index.html, css file, download.html, for each site on a single trailing domain page?

I feel brain dead for asking, but with WP being mainly php, and my Minisites being all index.html...I am lost on this one.:confused:

Thanks In Advance,

Art

PS-I was going to try uploading a .zip directly to the page like...

Main-WP-Site[dot]com/Site-One

Feel I'm missing something here?

    Hi,
    Do you want to import all mini-sites under a single domain or blog?

    FYI WP only work with php files but you can put your html by creating new pages.

    Let me know if you can't do it.

    Thanks

    I haven't exactly tried yet...but the thought occurred to me tonight; "YES I need to house them all on one blog".

    Then just send traffic to the specific page, rather than spend another $500-$1000 on domains that are seeing maybe 20-30 hits per month (momentarily...lol).

    My plan was to create a membership site eventually, but for now just getting them indexed to a specific page for viewing them, would be great.

    I already have roughly 40 of them scattered on their own domains. *But ranking duplicate resell sites is near impossible, so it seems stupid to keep buying a domain for each Minisite.

    Rather rank one blog, and have sub-pages housing the products...if that makes sense.

      Hi,
      Your idea is good. But the way you want to put your pages is not right.

      Let me ask you-

      Do you have a properly installed wordpress site with your preferred theme?

      If not then do this first.
      If yes then go to wordpress dashboard and create a new page there and copy the html code from one of your site and paste it on HTML view (not Visual) and then click publish button. Let's see what happen.

      FYI i am a fellow freelancer and worked as a wordpress theme developer & SEO. I can help you to solve this issues but you have to pay me to do it. If you are interested then please send me a PM. I will definitely help you in this issue.


      Regards

    Thanks Monzo, just tried it with a squeeze page index.html file, and it converts the html automatically into the post as a php/css (like blogger's code layout), but it didn't display the actual page.

    It's getting late, I'll mess with it some tomorrow, and keep you posted on the outcome. Naturally, time is valuable so if I can't get it to work, I shoot you a PM.

    Thanks again

    UpDate:

    I just found how this can be done here:

    Convert Static HTML Site to WordPress Easily | CyberCoded

    Again, it will take some sleep, a clear head, and some fresh ideas concerning how to make the site convert html to WP, and doesn't solve the whole problem. I'll start there and PM you should I need help.

    Actually it's not so easy to convert a HTML site to wordpress theme. It takes 1-2 days to convert static site to a wordpress theme for me. But it will be great if you can do it yourself.

    If you need any further help just let me know.

    Thanks

    Is there a specific reason why you want them on WP rather than just uploading them all as HTML? WP wasn't really built to work this way. If you're running the pages as completely self contained sections (i.e. they're not linking between each other) then I can see no benefit to you using WP to manage them.

    If it was me I would simply create a new subdomain for each product (because "myproductname.mydomain.com" is thought to be better for SEO than "www.mydomain.com/myproduct.html") and upload the style, landing page and download page for each product.
