Great article Sean thanks for writing it. I have a question for you that is part web development and part SEO.

My friend bought a site that has thousands of pages that is just HTML and not running on a CMS. The site has been getting about 300,000 page views per month recently and he'd like to add display ads, affiliate links, and be able to customize everything on WordPress instead of html.

The web dev question: What is the best way to convert a site from HTML to wordpress? I did some googling and didn't find any tools that do this automatically. I ran into some services that will do it but it cost thousands of dollars. Do you know of anything?

The seo question: let's say that the above problem is solved in the site is now on wordpress. What are the implications of doing this on the site's rankings?

Thanks!
