clicksharpmarketingI recently ran into a tricky situation involving WordPress.
We know that WordPress requires PHP and MySQL and all those nice things... and thus it only works on a Linux server (maybe that's not a hard and fast rule, but it seems to apply to all the commercial hosting options).
Well it turns out my client's site was written with ASP and requires a Windows server. So the disconnect here is that the way the company site exists, it has to be on a Windows server — and if I want to install a WordPress blog on their domain, I would need a Linux server, i.e. different hosting account which would require a different domain.
Right?
My interim solution was to install the blog on a separate hosting account and domain. But I'm an SEO guy first and foremost, and this pisses me off because by splitting off onto a separate domain, we're forfeiting all the benefits of that fresh dynamic content coming from the blog.
Am I out of luck? Is there a way to rewrite URLs or create some sort of a proxy setup to make the search engines see all that content on the primary company domain?
Thanks.
