Phew! Finally done it! I’ve managed to amalgamate the sales site with the Blog. Check out the Home page here to see the new sales page.

We’re using the free WordPress Flexibilty theme. It’s a cracker! We are looking at getting the paid version as well. The main advantage of that is you can create ‘single’ page landers. i.e. no menus or sidebars.

But the conversion was a bit problematic. Thing was, we already had WP installed on the /blog directory and we didn’t want to lose all our previous posts.

Thankfully an ANC member (Jay, kpfingaz) came to the rescue. Check out this post below on how to do it:-

Move WordPress Blog To Main Domain

One important thing to add to that is you must do 301 redirects on ALL your old site pages. You need to get at your .htaccess file via your domain control panel and add lines like this:-

redirect 301 /blog/reviews/ http://affiliatenicheclub.com/reviews/

Then delete all your old pages from your server.

This is the SEO friendly way to do it.

It’s a bloody pain in the neck to do but well worth IMO.

Now all we need is a fancy header graphic!
