Hello

I have a long-form sales pitch with a WP back-end to it.. but I would like to change the sales pitch so IT is in the background and the foreground (home page) is a WP page.

If I change this, will it dramatically change my rankings?

    Depends on the backlinks and the urls in them. If they are all to your homepage then you don't need to worry

    Do you guys think that long-form sales pitches will eventually get filtered out of the top 10 rankings?

    I would think half the sites i land on after doing a search would have never been indexed in the first place, so I'm going to go with a no. Google is confusion sometimes.

    If the sales pitch has a lot of content it is likely to stay for as long as you have the back-links to beat the competition. Hell my "about us" page on one of my websites is ranking above a pr 3 website. My website has 0 pr, but my about us page has 10 back-links, so the power is all in the back-link.

    make sure you do a 301 redirect in htaccess for important pages which have good number of backlinks.

      I just feel google will start to look at the length of the page, load time, and they'll desire navigation at the top -- and they'll also look for stop words such as GUARANTEE! or FREE! etc. etc.

      Google hates sales stuff I feel. They want to deliver free content
