301 Redirect how to get those juices flowing

[kellymandingo]

HI Guys

Following on from my previous posts i have still not got my rankings back,

http://www.seomoz.org/q/301-redirect-have-no-ranking

i am beginning to think that i do have a underlying issue in the site which is restricting me

My old site www.economyleasinguk.co.uk was moved to www.economy-car-leasing.co.uk, as mentioned the 301 seemed to go really well and all pages updated within 48 hours, however over 5 months on and the juice from the old site is still not pushed over and i hardly rank at all for anything.

here are a list of things i have tried

1:Swapped the original 301 which was PHP for an Htaccess

2: added canonical tag to all pages

3: Turned on internal links as per this post by Everett Sizemore http://www.seomoz.org/blog/uncrawled-301s-a-quick-fix-for-when-relaunches-go-too-well

number 3 was only done 5 days ago and initially bot traffic was immense, and may need a bit more time to see any results.

I still think i have another underlying issue due to the below reasons

1: Page rank on home page is one but inner pages mixture of 1,  2 and 3 sporadically

2: If I copy text from home page no results

3: Open site explorer still has the old site at with a PA of 60 compared to 42 for the new site

4: Checked server logs and Google is visiting old site

5: Header responses are all correct for the canonicals and see no chaining of the 301’s

6: All pages are do follow and no robots restrictions

7: site:has only in the last few days removed the old site from the index naturally

it could be that its just a matter of time however 5 months for a 301 is a very long time and 80% traffic loss is immense

I would really appreciate it if someone can give the site a once over and see if i have missed anything obvious.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried submitting a new XML sitemap in Google Webmaster tools?

Hi Kyle

Submitted a site map originally,  Google can see and has indexed all the current pages and visits regularly, however non of the authority has been pushed over yet, not even all the PR..

Just must be super unlucky
