      We moved the site to a new hosting. Previously the site used Godaddy Windows Hosting with white domain masking. After moving the site we just mirrored the site. We have to use mirrored domain for PPC campaigns because it mirrored site contains true BRAND name and there is better conversion with that domain plus all trade marked keywords are approved for mirrored domain.

      Robots.txt

      User-agent: * Host: www.hermitagejewelers.com

      Disallow: /Bin Disallow: /css

      www.hermitagejewelers.com is the main domain.

      Mirror site is www.ermitagejewelers.com (Without the "H" at the beginning)

      Most of the keywords are now picked up by mirror site. I have not noticed any major changes in ranking except that it ranks for mirror site.

      We updated the sitemap.

      Website is designed very poorly (not by us).

      Also, we submitted the change address request for ermitagejewelers to hermitagejewelers in webmasters.

      Please let me know any advice to fix that problem.

      Thank you.

        Upload a robots.txt on ermitage to disallow all robots indexing all files?
