    A bit of background. - Had a blogger (blogpsot blog) on fashion and all that which had PR5 and around 30 000 incoming links - all natural through blogroll lin exchanges with other fashion bloggers. On 1 Nov I bought a new dormain and on the 5th of November i made permanent redirect from my blogspot to mynewdomain. Traffic went down from about 1000 to 70 a day on new domain but then it started climbing and reached around 300 but i notice today i am no longer getting any traffic at all from google but i am still getting indexed. i checed webmaster tool and there is nothing i can pick up on.

    I made my previous blogger blog no follow on the 5th but i see a google cache on 28 Nov. The old blogger was sending me still sending me a bit of traffic through the redirect but its nearly zero now and the sitewide links i had on my old blog are gone too.

    By the way i contacted some of the people who were linking to me to change their lin to my new site and they did that nearly 3 weeks ago.

    Could someone tell me whats happening. I didnt think i would be sandboxed since its a 301 redirect

    It's might be a temporary issue and won't last for long...
    However, just give it more time, and keep on doing your daily stuff as always... Posting and adding content, etc..

    I have just noticed in webmaster that All my new post on the website are coming up with duplicate content in the webmaster tools but I am not sure how to sort it out. Its a wordpress blog and the duplicate issues are as below eg

    mywebsite.com/rihannas-gucci-advertising-campaign‎
    mywebsite.com/rihannas-gucci-advertising-campaign‎/

    It seems google is seeing my post with a / and without at the end.

    How do i sort that/

    Choose which url you want to keep first, the one with the trailing slash or without. Then do a 301 redirect to your chosen one - htaccess might help if you're using apache...
