title: Converting a static site to a Wordpress site...how to transfer/convert SEO rankings?
body: <p>I'm going to convert a client's static site, all hand coded HTML pages to Wordpress.  They have a bunch of static pages that I'm going to keep as 'pages' in Wordpress. There will be some static content that I'm going to convert into blog entries (and back date them).</p>
  
  <p>How do I transfer their search engine rankings to the new Wordpress site?  Some will be a static page converted to a Wordpress 'page' and some will be a static page converted to a blog entry? </p>
