Should I move this site to Wordpress?

This site (electric-guitarlessons (dot) com) was built using a template from Chris Rempel and was specifically designed for affiliate marketers. It's earned me only a little, but that's due in large part to me not having paid much attention to it once I'd written the current content. I have two other sites using this platform and I'm gearing up to get serious about IM.

I've read that Google tends to like Wordpress sites and I'm familiar with the mechanics of building a site on WP. In your opinion, would it be a good move as far as SEO to pack up my guitars and move the site to WP?

    Google does like WP for now. They love to change their minds however. Weebly doesn't use wordpress but yet it can rank very well.

    I don't think transitioning to WP will get you more traffic. There are many WP sites 'scattered' all over the Internet Waste land.

    You did say that you didn't pay too much attention to this site. Maybe you should just focus on this site and promotion.

    I'd say WP is a go. So many advantages Wordpress has. Saves you a lot of time!

    Don't believe everything you read.

    It's true that WordPress software has some SEO-related add-ons available which are widely believed to be beneficial for on-page SEO, but the idea that Google "likes" or "dislikes" any kind of site according to the CMS from which it's made doesn't hold much water at all.

    In my opinion, the difference will probably be negligible. The underlying problem is that you need a different traffic-generation plan for the site, rather than relying on search-engines for your primary traffic.

    As some said, you need a new traffic source, you could have the best design the best everything but without traffic it's nothing. So I would focus on driving traffic to the already made site and tweak it after looking at your stats, your roi,

    Thats just my two cents. How do you know the template you have now wont bring in tons of sales if you never tested on lot's of traffic? *shrugs*

    Apart from making it easier to update contents and/or design, WordPress isn't going to give you any magically advantage over any other website builder.

    You should try not to radically change the structure of your site too often, However... the site looks dated and a little spammy...
    Even if you don't switch to wordpress, the frontend could use a little updating.
    Personally, I would switch to a CMS (wordpress or any you feel comfortable with) and upgrade the look in the process.
    One of the biggest advantages of using a CMS is that you can drastically change the appearance of your website while barely changing the code (assuming the theme you use properly separates html from css), so future changes to the appearance don't affect the way google sees it.
