      Hi

      My Domain name is Replicahause.net, 2 weeks ago my server had an outage for 3 days and my rankings dissappeared in google entirely, however i also noticed that when i typed in my domain name "replicahause" or "replicahause.net" , i would see abhishekyadav.com appearing on #1 in google which does a 301 into Replicahause.net

      I was able to convince the owner of Abhishekyadav to remove the 301 but my site Replicahause.net's Rankings still does not appear to have come back to google, is there something i'm missing here ?

      We were ranked #1 to #10 for at least 40 keywords, they've just seemed to dissappeard after the server downtime we had and the 301 from AbhishekYadav.com

      Thanks

        Hello Sudesh

        http://abhishekyadav.com/  responds with a 200 response code

        but then the page it serves up is an immediate META refresh to

        http://abhishekyadav.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

        and that fails

        Your main URL without www sends a 301 redirect to the domain with the www

        At the time google crawled your site, maybe your redirects were messed up and they think you moved to abhishekyadav

        I think you should fix that meta refresh and probably 301 redirect instead to www.replicahause.net

        You should be able to go into your webmaster tools and tell the google crawler your site has moved from

        abhishekyadav to replicahause

          Hi Alan

          Ok, i've added yadav to webmasters tools and have done a permanent 301 from abhishekyadav.com to Replicahause.net and have informed google of such in webmasters tools too.

          I will wait for a couple of days, or perhaps weeks to see what changes go through and keep you posted.

          Thanks for the input.
