About 1 month ago i purchased 2 new domains and hosting. I got some links pointing to both of these domains to let Search engines' bots to crawl and index them. In about 5 days each of them were indexed by Google, Yahoo and MSN. Then i have decided to hold off on them, becuase i had some other projects to work on. So what i did i 301 redirected these domains to just random sites with the same themes. And you know what happened? After a few days both of my domains dissapeared from Google, Yahoo and MSN index. I immedietly took these 301 redirects out but after waiting 1 week, my domains still don't get indexed. What have i done wrong? Have my domains been penalized by SEs? Thanks
You told the SEs that your site has permanently moved. Now that you have that history associated with the domains, it may not be nearly as easy to SEO them as it is with a fresh start. You live and learn.
