In case you have an old website still listed but in simple html, there is no reason to ababdon the site today. Even in todays syndicated Internetworld of Web 2.0+ we can still see many html websites in top position in all search engines. These sites have their advantages too. For one, they load faster than todays heavy loaded php scripted sites. Dynamically created websites have not only longer loading times, but mostly carry a bunch of modules, plugins and analytics scripts with them. An older html site can still get up in the ranks and achieve a good search engine position it it is optimized and maintained well. This case study of an html website shows that everything is possible.
When we had to make the decision whether to keep the old HTML made website of the hotel and apartments Evinos on the Greek Island of Samos, or to replace it with a newer content management system, we went for keeping the old site and additionally design a Wordpress blog that would cover the necessary RSS output and more features to make the website withstand the strong winds of the future internet marketing competition. famous people who lived on the island of Samos like for example Pythagoras of Samos, the Mathematician, Evpalinos, the man who planed and constructed the longest tunnel at the time, about 3000 years ago! The tunnel has a length of 1070 meters and was dugg from two sides of the mountain; 3000 years ago!! Then there was Policrates the tyrant who reigned over all the region from Persia to to Athens.
