We didn't have any choice moving our domain over from a .com to a .co.uk. It was forced upon us. It happened on the 13 September & our traffic hasn't recovered back to pre changeover levels.
It's times like these that make being a webmaster tough. Do I just wait it out or have I done something wrong?
I did the following:
+ I 301 the whole .com site over to the .co.uk.
+ I asked everybody to change their incoming links to point to the .co.uk site. There are however far more pointing to the .com site than the .co.uk version. Not much I can do about it though.
What else is there that I can do? (Toolbar) PR for the .co.uk version of the site is 2 on the home page. the old .com version had a strong 5. As I understood it, a 301 will redirect the PR? Apparently not in this case, unless I just got unlucky with the timing.
the .co.uk site is being hammered by googlebot, and has been all month. the whole site has been indexed more than ten times to date this month.
over the last month the number of pages showing up (using the site: command) has gradually being going up. And conversely, the number of pages in the .com site has been going correspondingly down.
Is there anything I've missed? Can I tell google what has happened and ask them to expedite the process?
