What would you do...html vs wp - GoFuckYourself.com

beks001 · 08-22-2012, 09:25 PM

The situation is that I have roughly 15 domains with one page html sites on them. In total on average they don't even get 100 hits per domain a month. The domains are 5 plus years old and some. Would you switch it out and put a blog with say 30 posts plus on it and see what happens? Or do you leave them as is and hope than a couple of them make the reg fee sale?

current status:

5+ age

15 domains

1-2 html pages per domain

OR

install wp on each domain

get 20-30 galleries in niche and writing for blog posts for each domain

update them for a month and see what happens?

will all be on a shared host too.
Which would you do?

Is this theme better than others for any particular reason?

Probably the WP option. Different CMS might be a good option too

depends on what you want to do. For a blog probably just WP.

I've gone back in time to HTML

I would setup 15 static pages for each site. I would not use wordpress unless you plan on checking and updating the sites. If you leave any automated site alone unattended for years you are inviting trouble.

Test and see is good advice, I did that years ago on a batch of over 20 sites. Some HTML, some WP, some PHPbb (I did say it was years ago). All similar content. After a long time, no obvious difference in traffic. MUCH MORE WORK for the WP sites, the PHPbb, least for HTML. So for income/work ratio the HTML wins big time. And those WP sites I heavily edited to remove footprint to reduce hacking, it is hard to tell they are WP from the surfers side.

If you want to populating them with morphing feeds to make them look "live" then of course that would be different.

If you plan to go blogging, install WP, setup all, do some tweaks and install some plugins! And make sales!
