Question
Hi,
We have build a Q&A platform in ASP.net from scratch and have done lot of onsite and offsite SEO optimization from more then two years, we have build high quality content and quantity is also decent but after lot of effort we still did not able to attract good SEO traffic on that, so we are thinking to replace our Q&A system with wordpress as wordpress website attracts good SEO traffic, and we use any q&a plugin for wordpress.
* Please suggest are we thinking in right direction?
* Will using wordpress q&a will help us in improving SEO traffic?
* If yes then which wordpress q&a plugin we should use?
* How we will be doing authentication between ASP.net and wordpress?
Answer
It's very important that, not only the system you are willing to use is important, but also the transfer to this system. How much URLs we are talking about? 1000, 10000 - 1.000.000 ?
Wordpress might get heavy and might need a special setup for high volume content sites, or high traffic sites. Changing the system is a huge risk that should be evaluated before doing the change. Remember to keep track of each single URL and redirect accordingly to the new URLs with a 301 in case the URLs really HAVE to change.
