Redirecting a penalized domain to new Domain Name

Hi,

My friend's website has been penalized by Google due to the duplicate content. Now we have removed the contents and updated with original one. But still our website has not listed in Google SERP for any keywords. So I would like to buy a new domain name and move the contents to that domain name. I have to redirect the old one to the new one. Will this affect the new Domain name too? If yes, then what is the solution? How to ride off the penalty? How long will it take to recover? naturalhumanhair dot co dot in is the affected domain name.

 

The penalty will be passed to the new website. Since you removed the duplicated contents, it's better to wait as the penalty could be removed without doing anything, if not then you can submit a reconsideration request.

 

What type of duplicate contents you have buddy?

 

Don't redirect the old domain name to the new one otherwise the penalty will be passed onto it.

 

Use Canonical Tags for Duplicate Contents.

 

How long did you wait after updating the content?

 

Penalties will follow the redirect, basically. It's better to just wait, now that you've removed the duplicate content.
Don't do it again. However good the content, it's not worth the google penalty.

 

There are two types of penalties - manual and algorithm penalty and learning the difference between the two can save you a lot of time and head-bumping when you have future issues of the sort.

You ALWAYS receive a notification for manual penalties in your Google WebMasters Tool! And for such penalties you either have an expiration date you can await, or submit a reconsideration to Google.

Algorithm penalties, like keyword stuffing, toxic links, duplicate content etc., once fixed, all you have to do is wait for the website to be re-indexed, nothing more, NO reconsideration requests or anything.

Patience is a virtue here, young padawans

 

Nailed that one. I would only add that there is no point in forwarding problematic domains to ones with out issues. As Rado points out... do the right thing and stuff will come around soon enough.

I keep having to fix peoples mess this year. It has been taking around 3 weeks depending on how stuffed up the backlink profile is. That works for me. It used to take a lot longer.
