      First i just want to say the 301s, change of address and nearly all outer links are changed to the new url since early september. Let me give you an example...

      Query: Custom Sweatbands

      Ranking URL: www.stbands.com/custom-sweatbands/

      **Correct URL that it is 301'd to for over 2 months now: **www.customonit.com/custom-sweatbands/

      More... new sitemap has been submitted since the beginning.  The old website www.stbands.com doesn't even exist anymore, in fact at the beginning of this month I got pretty angry and blocked search engines via the robots txt for the old domain.

      Any way I can get Google to catch on?

      Thanks in advance!

        • The brand drop down doesn't seem to be appearing for any brands in google.com.hk. Is it something which needs to be set up and registered, or automatically rolled out by Google?
