Accidently did a 301 redirect on root domain and lost domain keyword position
-
I just bought a domain about a week ago and instantly ranked number 4 for for my keywords with the domain keyword bonus.
I created a landing page off the root of my domain while I'm building out my main site. I accidentally did a 301 redirect instead of a 302 from my root to my landing paging and this resulted in me losing my position and only being about to find my domain in the google if I searched for my domain specifically.
Anyway to regain my original position? I have removed the redirect. Have I been put in the sandbox?

Does that temporary page rank now or not? Have you 301'ed back to index after your site went live again? It could be a matter of waiting for Google to pick up on the change.

It did at 1st but now it's gone as well. Hopefully Google will re-index soon.

Only way is to wait, give ti some time! Google should re-index you soon, and your rank will start to stabilize once again.
