Effect on SEO when doing a "Total Replace" of a website
Hi All - I need to wipe out an old site that has decent traffic, and replace it with a new site on that same Domain Name, possibly hosted elsewhere, and possibly using WordPress. Can anyone offer some guidance to minimize the hit on SEO, for example:
* If JUST the site's IP Address changes, as in transferring to a new Hosting Company, will that effect it's SEO?
* Is there a way to tell Google that the site is still "mine", for example, like you can tell Google with a 301 Perm redirect that you have changed Domain Names?
* In general, is the use of WordPress these days going to hurt the SEO?
Any other comments are appreciated before we ReDesign & ReSubmit
via Google Webmaster for another look.
Thanks all!

Then you have nothing to worry about.
Just remember to keep the old domain until the new one (that is the new IP) has full propagated - usually within 48 hours.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of web content in search engines using an understanding of search engines' processes and algorithms. Also known as "natural" or "organic" search, it is distinct from paid web advertising. Performance is typically measured by testing the appearance of a website for targeted search terms, and more specifically, ranked positions in search for important keywords. Techniques focus on content optimization, technical optimization and link building.
