Please give me some feed back on this topic
I have been asked to build a joomla site for a company. They currently have an old school static site and they really want a CMS, but there worried that they may loose their page ranks when they convert the site to joomla.
Is this possible?
Is it correct to assume that if I keep the same content and the same URLS then we wont loose any SEO, SERPs or page rankings?

- IMHO - Joomla 1.5 SEO is much better than a static site. But yes you can probably keep the URL's with a SEF component.

thanks prim
this is what "ronnieg" says over at forum.joomla.org
>URLs will most likely change, and you may want them to anyway, so you will need to put 301 redirects in >place to preserve the current page rankings, as well as to reroute inbound links from other sites. When >migrating from a static site to Joomla, I build 301 redirects in the .htaccess file of the old site to redirect to >the new site's urls, and put basically the same 301 redirects on the new site also, minus the high level >domain name on the new target url, which allows us to migrate the content to the new site quickly without >changing all the on-page internal links right away. This gives us time to work on rebuilding the on-page >internal links after the new site is up, especially for very large sites that need to be migrated quickly.
Does that sound accurate or is this user misinformed do you think? - Always post a link to your site when asking Questions!
