I'm switching from a php coded site to Wordpress and wanted to know if that will be negative for my google ranking. I currently rank #1 for a couple of keywords. I only have one main page that i may be able to keep similar structure

My questions:

1> does it affect SERP
2> should i keep the page title, keywords the same (anything else?)
3> will a 301 redirect help (and how should i do it?)
4> anything else i should know about doing this

I asked a similar question within a different post asking for other advice. I didnt really get a straight answer on this one.

Please help, really need to change the site but afraid of losing the ranking and traffic.

  • WordPress is built on Php. If you incorporate the same elements in the new site and optimize the site correctly, then I would think that the new sites ranking would be similar.

    By "same elements", I mean those that got you to your current ranking.

    • I guess the same elements in this case would be some of the SEO on the page itself. There really isn't a lot except for page title, keywords, using a google +1 and had many hits from Facebook page. I really don't know why this site did so well but it worked.

      Think i'll just get some of that coding over and put into the main wordpress page and then build widgets and the rest of my monetization around that. Then blog page and other products pages to build more rankings and get more clicks from that traffic?
