I really hope someone can help me. I am really struggling with a 301 redirect on a website. I am pretty good with backlinking and SEO, but I am helpless when it comes to this stuff. I had a web design guy setup a redirect for me that not only redirected the home page, but all subpages as well. I started out with the site http://www.lasvegas-criminaldefenseattorney.com. The design was really lacking on this version and when I later noticed that http://www.lasvegas-criminalattorney.com was available I went ahead and grabbed it since it is shorter and also a match for the most competitive keyword in that market. Before picking up that name, and having my web designer move all the content over to that domain, I had done pretty well with the SEO on the first name and had gotten quite a few keywords on the first page. I wasn't done yet, but things were in a very solid position. I hadn't ever done a redirect in this fashion, and I thought it would just be smooth sailing. The web designer said he had to use special code to get it to redirect with all the subpages. Unfortunately we had a falling out about 2 weeks ago shortly after he did this. Several weeks later the redirect doesn't seem to have been noticed in Google. I am not ranking for anything on the new name and I am seeing the old name in the search results in much less favorable positions. Also questionable -- when I do a site: with the old name every page comes up in the results EXCEPT the home page. Can anyone tell me how to remedy this situation? I have built many good links to the new domain name and I would just like these efforts to be combined so that I can start shopping it to attorneys. I was so close before and then I ended up screwing it up with this. Should I be doing anything to get the redirect noticed by Google faster? Does anything I've described sound peculiar? Should this have already kicked in after 2 and a half weeks of having the redirect set up? I will be checking to see if anyone responds, but private messages would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
