I am inclined to think that the 800 static pages would not convert into 200k pages without a considerable change in content.

Without looking closely my initial feeling is create the new site. . then run it in competition with your old one. For the life of me I just cannot see a duplicate content issue if you totally rearrange the format.

For example a result for houses under $100,000 - will never have similar content to house in Sydney.

I would compete with myself. . That should be tough enough competition to upgrade both sites.

in a few years to come - succeed the losing site to the winner...


P.S. incredible said ( I think I agree)
You should probably consider hiring someone to help you with this since you are not sure what to exactly do.


BIG step! - do not screw it up. what you have now would have taken a hell of a lot of work....
