    Hey Guys,
    My htaccess file got overwritten 2 weeks ago so I had one site with 2 domains.
    I discovered this on Sunday and have fixed it up with a 301 redirect.
    My traffic dropped around 25% within those 2 weeks.

    My questions are
    Will I go back to normal?
    If so, how long does it usually take to go back to normal after the fix?

    I also did a index check (site:www.domain.com) on both the google.com site and google.com.au site and found this

    google.com 700 pages indexed
    google.com.au 27000 pages indexed

    Should I be concerned?

    when i have made a similar mess of things it usually starts to sort it's self out when Google has crawled the page again either once (or twice).
