Hi everyone, I got a quick question: I would like to have an static HTML homepage for my Blog due to some technical integration's used in it. What I have done to achieve this: I simply saved my HTML page as "index.html" and put in the wordpress folder that holds the Wordpress "index.php" file. The "index.html" automatically was granted a higher status and opened as my home page. My question: How this affects my SEO? How my sitemap is affected by that? Since I use SEO plugin by Yoast, this plugin builds my sitemap but I am not sure that it will include my homepage. I am opened to your interactions and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
As long as the links on your static page still go through, and all the header tags, keywords are the same, google probably wont be able to tell the difference..
