Hello DP users, This is my first topic regarding my serious query and i am member of DP for almost 6 Months and i think DP is really helpful for Needy peoples. So my Question is about Redirect URL I have redirected my Old domain to my new URL domain by 301 redirection but Google and other search engines are still not indexing my new domain websites and webpages, its almost 1 week yet and my website is still not indexed by search engines, The only one page of my website got indexed and the remain webpages still not indexed and my conversions also effected after the redirection process, If someone knows how to overcome by this problem and have solutions regarding indexing then please share your expertise. Thanks Regards, B.Williams
See in google webmaster tools you have an option for 301 redirection. Also, make sure you added a 301 rule in your old domain's .htaccess file too.
1 week isn't a long time in Search Engine terms. It can take a while for the index to update. That said - while you are waiting, it would be wise to check that you have done it correctly, in line with @earticles comment.
