Rankings like this mean what?

[robdawg]

I have just redirected our old domain to our new domain using a sitewide 301 redirect.  That was on Dec 6. Since none of the pages are showing in the serps unless you search specifically for a paragraph in quotes.  But I am also very concerned because scraper sites are coming up before my site. Here are a few examples:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbo=d&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS398US398&biw=1223&bih=799&sclient=psy-ab&q="The+decision+to+choose+between+duplication+and+replication+depends+upon+the+circumstances+of+each+individual+project.+Since+the+creation+processes+for+replication+and+duplication+are+so+different%2C+the+final+products+are+also+very+different."&btnG=&pbx=1

and here is one I just took off the site and put somewhere else:

https://www.google.com/search?q="Blu-Ray+players+have+really+come+in+to+their+own+in+the+past+few+years.+Blu-Ray+technology+provides+the+best+sound+and+picture+quality+of+any+media+format+on+the+market.+In+spite+of+the+great+leap+forward+that+Blu-Ray+represents,+there+are+still+a+good+number+of+people+who+haven’t+made+the+transition+from+traditional+DVD+players+to+the+Blu-Ray+format."&hl=en&tbo=d&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS398US398&ei=Gk7nUN2oMYrA8AT74IEo&start=10&sa=N&filter=0&biw=1223&bih=799

and yet another:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbo=d&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-Address&rlz=1I7GGLL_en&sclient=psy-ab&q="At+the+Windows+8+BUILD+conference+we+learned+that+Windows+8+will+allow+you+to+mount+ISO+and+VHD+files+natively.+++So+no+longer+is+there+a+need+for+a+3rd+party+ISO+file+software+such+as+Daemon+Tools+however+if+you+have+copy+protected+DVD+or+games+you+will+still"&btnG=&pbx=1

Notice the pattern, all of the results have my site (the originator of the content) at the bottom. I am very concerned with this as I'm sure this means Penalty up the ..... something.

What is my best move at this point?  Is there any chance of getting out of this?

Just be thankful you are not in this position, it sucks. But I'm still positive I can do something with this site.

Thanks

Hey Rob,

Sounds awful. When you say site wide 301 redirect, is every page getting redirected to the corresponding page on the new URL? Or are all your old pages redirecting to your new domain's home page?

There was a related topic(url below) and the first response is similar to what I have seen.

If that doesn't help, feel free to post the url's(old and new) and I'll take a look.

Hey Shane, thanks for the response. Yes the 301 is page for page, not all pointing to the main url.

Old: http://www.burnworld.com

New: http://www.burnworld.net

To me it seems that none of the link juice is being passed which is strange because even a search for my brand has the site either #4 or 5 and no other pages are getting serp luv at the moment, even though a site:burnworld.net has all the pages in that index and webmaster tools shows them all crawled from the sitemaps.  It's just none are showing in the main index.

Andy advice will be greatly appreciated.

Weird...I just checked out both in OSE. Everything seems like you did it the right way at first glance. I had a site that I was working on do something similar...only for one redirect but it was a high traffic word that we ranked well for. It sucks to say the least. It's taken about 6 weeks for the new page to start showing a page authority close to the previous page. If you don't mind me asking, why change from the .com to the .net?

[robdawg]

May have been a mistake but the main reason is that the .com was a hybrid mix of html and wordpress and ever since I added the blog as 'part' of the site it only made the Panda issues worse. I was originally hit by Panda 1.0 and have never been able to shake it off. If you look at the wayback machine for the site you will see that it has completely changed.  Then Panda 20 struck and left me holding my tail meaning that 98% of my pages were not even showing up in the serps.  So I was thinking that moving only the wordpress install and then porting over the html pages into wordpress will give it a fresh start. But since I have done that, now nothing is ranking, last week the home page at least appeared in thh top 5 for the brand term. But that has me concerned because the majority of the backlinks are branded or at least the url, so if I can't even rank for my own brand it seems like this whole change killed it completely at this point.

You mentioned 6 weeks for one of your changes, perhaps I still need to be patient with it.

Now that the site has been ported into wordpress on the .net, perhaps it's best to move that back to .com since the url has a pretty solid MozRank compared to .net. I know doing that will completely screw up the rankability for month or three though. So I really am at a standstill as to how to procede with this project to get back into big G.  Every other traffic source is doing fine, but for some reason as we all know that G traffic just tends to taste better.
