Hi ahmed Bilal,
It was interesting to read your post…I also would definitely think of “Holding on business”…
Because if dont need it for my other business of business line…Specially starting a new business doesnt confirms that it would be better and profitable…
So, holding the business would be better if its profitable…

Regards…

Cricket Revolution is one of the best games I have played. Mindies have done a great job and I hope they will continue this.

Matej,

Good questions.

1. Changing your permalink structure is painless if you have a good 301 redirect plugin that allows you to migrate from one permalink structure to another. Here’s one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/

2. From what I’ve read recently, you don’t need the digits in your URLs IF you submit a News sitemap (read the last line of this article – http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=68323). So you don’t need to change your permalink structure – just use a News sitemap.

3. I think you should move to MU to manage your site better, and then find a WPMU plugin that gives you a combined sitemap for all the sites. I have a similar issue on Soccerlens – am working on my own solution (still a couple of months away) since the publicly available sitemap options arent that good.

If I change my permalink structure now, will it affect my SEO? I always read that NOT having numbers in your URL is better for SEO, will these last 3 digit number affect it in any way?

I have a team of 6 writers, we publish more than 15 new posts a day. Only thing which really concerns me is a structure of my site:

Every topic/niche has it’s own Wordress installation after .com/ which means my homepage is almost blank static page. I planned to add feeds for each topic with thumbnails on homepage in the future although.

But will Google scan my site/whole domain then?

I know my xml sitemap on top level domain does not show posts/content inside of .com/ , I needed to add sitemap for each WordPress installation.

Should I switch to WordPress MU, will it help?

I would really appreciate if you can give me some advice Ahmed. Thank you
