Last month we moved domains, adding 301 redirects from the old domain. After Cassandra, the old domain has gone from google.com, replaced by the new domain - good result.
However, when I check for our site in google.co.uk, both domains have gone (confirmed with an allinurl search) - bad result :(
Our site is definitely hosted in the UK (a traceroute confirms this). Our old domain was a .co.uk, our new one is a .com. However, there are plenty of .coms in the UK SERPS. This leads me to believe that one of the following three statements must be true:
1. The google.co.uk results are not just filtered google.com index results.
2. Google looks at more than just where the site is hosted, to determine if it is a UK one.
3. This is just a domain-move transient issue, and it'll all be fixed after the next update.
Being a relative newbie, I'd appreciate anyone's ideas. Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
