hi guys, i have moved about 2 weeks ago this site: dotalex.com to iphonerat.com i made a total 301 redirection, but it does 2 things when redirecting: first: dotalex.com/?p=45 goes to iphonerat.com/?p=45 second: iphonerat.com/?p=45 goes to iphonerat.com/nevermind/isuck/ i dont know if this is ok, i have checked my links at: and got this: i have lost all my serps positions, and of course im losing a good amount of traffic (like 700 per day) what can i do??? do you know what is wrong? or what can i make to the sitemap in order to get all the new urls indexed???
it seems a good redirect for me. i think google can follow those redirect and you must wait to get your serp again
Yes u must wait... Also u can submit a sitemap for new domain but that doesn't really mean fast indexing.
i have now my newdomain indexed, (38 pages) but the old one is still in google index (82 pages)... so i think im going to wait more!
Have you tried uploading a .htaccess file to the old domain containing the line redirect 301 dotalex.com/?p=45 http://www.iphonerat.com/?p=45 Something similar worked for me and within a week google had reindexed the new domain and the old pages disappeared. Even until the old pages vanished, the visitors were redirected to no worries.
