HELP: Wrong domain showing up in Google Search

[Devicelock]

So i have this domain (1)devicelock.com and i also had this other domain (2)ntutility.com, the 2nd domain was an old domain and it is not in use anymore. But when i search for devicelock on Google, the homepage devicelock.com does not exist. Only ntutility.com comes up.

I asked one of the developer how the redirect is happening from the old domain to the new one and he told me its through a DNS forward. And there is no way to have an .htacess file to set up a 301 instead.

Please help!

Yep, Sanket is right.

You want to have your developer set up a 301 redirect from ntutility.com to your new site. If he can't do this, you may want to get a new developer :). Someone on oDesk should be able to do this pretty easily for you.

If this is a domain migration - and it sounds like it is - you want to be sure not to simply redirect everything to the homepage.

Won't go into all the details - you can read this guide here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/web-site-migration-guide-tips-for-seos

The important thing is to get all the details right - something you may need help with if you're not comfortable performing all these steps yourself. And make sure all your domain settings in Google Webmaster Tools are up to date... including submitting a change of address form.

Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO.

I checked all three sites and it looks like they are all 302 redirects from www.ntulity.com to www.protect-me.com and then from www.protect-me.com to www.devicelock.com

I will ask the IT Admin on Monday for more details regarding this.

Can you send me an email to dho @ devicelock.com to communicate faster?

Dennis Its Okay we are you to discuss and learn new thing.

Can you please check redirection of ntutility.com using above websites ? None of them are able to detect the redirection that IT Admin has done.

Let me do some searching on DNS redirection then I will get back to you.

I'm sorry but i dont understand what you mean by "the redirection is not proper". What is making it not proper? How would i fix this?

Sorry for asking so many question.

Dennis,

Can you please ask your IT Admin to recheck the redirection because as per above three website redirection is not proper. After you fix this issue, submit xml sitemap and fetch devicelock.com in GWT.

Sanket,

Thank you for the response. The redirect was done through the server via a DNS forward from the old domain to the new domain.

That is what i was told by the IT admin.

Any suggestion on how I can fix this?

Hi Dennis,

I have just check devicelock.com cached version in Google it showing  ntutility.com.  And you have redirected ntutility.com to devicelock.com. May I know how you have done redirection ? Its not search engine friendly. I have checked redirection using thee website :

http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/

http://www.webconfs.com/redirect-check.php

After solving redirection error setup Google webmaster tool and submit a xml sitemap to Google. And you also try fetching home page through Google Webmaster.
