Hi

We moved our domain last month from a .com to a .co.uk due to the fact we were not included in our regional Google index.

We were spidered in full shortly afterwards (we used a permanent redirect), and google included about 15 or so of our 250 pages.

Three days ago Google did a complete crawl, and this morning the site: command is showing 264 pages. However, our ranking for virtually all of our key phrases is very poor (often around posn. 100, instead of top 10 as per usual).

At a bit of a loss as to why. We didn't have that many incoming links, and most have been altered to our new sites address. Note that for some of our key phrases we were ranking just fine until Google did this last update this morning.

Also our PR has gone from 2 to 3 during this period.

Anyone have any idea's as to what's happening?

Hi walmslei

Looks like, Google hasn't calculated the link structure of your site. Do you have PR on the new pages? I'd give it a few weeks, may be until the next link update.
