Search engine ranking

Hi,

We currently have a website which has a fairly high ranking on yahoo and other search engines.. It is currently using an html page as the main front page. I have 2 questions :

1. Will it affect my ranking, if I change my html main page to an asp main page - whilst using the same meta tags ?

2. What does the following line actually do ? Is this necessary for a good ranking (my website does not currently have this) :
<meta name="robots" content="all">

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Zain.

Hello all,

True, Google will look at the domain name overall and still award PageRank. Also true that a file extension change can hold positions (in theory) as long as only the extension is altered. It's meant to work that way. But like Bill Gates blue screen of death nightmare at comdex, "technology doesn't always work the way it's supposed to."

hehe

Most search engines can't actually see dynamic code, it simply isn't triggered when it goes to the link to your homepage, so if your rankings are important to you, I suggest that you have 2 websites, one static, the other dynamic.
