    Hi,

    this is the situation: I've bought 2 domains ww.domain.netand ww.domain.nl
    One the domain.nl i've set a redirect to ww.domain.net

    Now, the ww.domain.net is optimized for my keyword, i've did everything I needed to do, but for some reason ww.domain.nl gets indexed (with the title and content of ww.domain.net) and not ww.domain.net.

    Has anyone an idea how this is possible?

    This is a huge problem because my guess is that google accesses ww.domain.nl and thinks there are only links to ww.domain.nl on the page (even in the menu).

    This means ww.domain.nl and ww.domain.net are ranking very bad for the targetted keyword.

    things i've tried so far:
    - reuploaded the sitemap
    - made sure that there is no link from ww.domain.netto ww.domain.nl

    has anyone an idea how it is possible that a 301 redirect url gets indexed, and the page to wich is redirected not (this is going on for about 10 days)?

    I would check your headers to see if you are really doing a 301 and not a 302.. Google for header checker.
