Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello Patrick, Thank you for the great resource! This part was what we where looking for; Move all URLs at once**.** We advise you move all URLs on your site simultaneously instead of moving one section at a time. This helps users interact with the site better in its new form, and helps our algorithms detect the site move and update our index faster.

The following is added to our robots.txt .. now lets wait and see the results User-agent: * Disallow: /admin/ Disallow: /? Allow /?product_date=&product_date2=* Disallow /?product_date=&product_date2=& To check the working of the robots.txt i found a handy website; http://phpweby.com/services/robots

For now we are still "included' and get some nice traffic. But most results are on page 3 instead of the first page and 4 to 5 grouped together. Looks like some penalty tools are correct; they say we have a penalty of -30. Google sitemap learns that daily more pages are indexed but the number of searched where they appear are almost non existent.
