41.000 pages indexed two years after it was redirected to a new domain
-
Hi!Two years ago, we changed the domain elmundodportivo.es to mundodeportivo.com. Apparently, everything was OK, but more than two years later, there are still 41.000 pages indexed in Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aelmundodeportivo.es) even though all the domains have been redirected with a 301 redirect. I detected some problems with redirections that were 303 instead of 301, but we fixed that one month ago.A secondary problem is that the pagerank for elmundodportivo.es is 7 yet and mundodeportivo.com is 3.What I'm doing wrong?Thank you all,Oriol

Your new website root loads with index.html. Default root must always load with domain-name alone.
This may be the reason for loss of PR. Also check which version(www or non-www) of your website had high PR, then redirect it to the new domain.

It is possible that this is due to multi-hop redirects and/or the redirect through an https (secure) URL. Consider changing the redirects for those pages so they go directly to the final destination. Example:
Requesting http://quiniela.elmundodeportivo.es/dnp1x2/cuatrohojas
SERVER RESPONSE: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved PermanentlyRedirecting to: https://quiniela.mundodeportivo.com/dnp1x2/cuatrohojas
SERVER RESPONSE: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved PermanentlyRedirecting to: http://quiniela.mundodeportivo.com/dnp1x2/cuatrohojas/
SERVER RESPONSE: HTTP/1.1 200 OKIf you cut out the middle redirect and go directly from http://quiniela.elmundodeportivo.es/dnp1x2/cuatrohojas to http://quiniela.mundodeportivo.com/dnp1x2/cuatrohojas/ it may help.
