Starting datafeeds... New site necessary?

What should I do?

[rknuppel]

Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to some of this and had a quick question. I'm going to venture into the world of datafeeds. I've came to the realization that I'm crazy for not using these things. My question is:

I currently have a site running, we'll call widgets.com which sells the products I'm marketing. It is all static content and really has minimal content. I rarely update this content because it's all static and that is way to tedious. This site is optimized fairly well for the search engines as I get a top 5 ranking for a few of my keywords that I target.

I want to change this site now to have all dynamic content and there will be some redesign involved as well. My question is, since this site is established with static content and brings in some hits/revenue (very little), should I just leave this site out there as it is and create my new dynamic site under a new domain (more_widgets.com) or should I just redesign completely my current site (widgets.com)?

I'm afraid that if I mess with my site by changing it to dynamic that I"ll lose my decent rankings in google. Any thoughts on how I should handle this?

the question is, how does google manage to get your high ranking? if it came from your first pages content / meta tags etc, then you could be alright, but if you have optimised all of your pages individually to be relevant to each pages content, then you might be in a spot of bother.

If you knew googles algorythm then it would make things a bit easier. You could try searchenginewatch.com
