I bought a URL that formerly had a 301 redirect to a new site. I am sure that the 301 is turned off as both Yahoo and MSN are correctly indexing the site. It has been two months and Google is still not indexing my site. Instead, they have a cache of the site that the 301 used to point to.

They seem to be correctly indexing some of the pages. However the Google cache and site information is about the site that the site that the old 301 used to point to.

I have seen it take 3 months or even longer.
Hang in there. Submit a sitemap to google, yahoo and add yourself to demoz. Add your url to as many other sites as you can.
Once again, hang in there.
