New pages indexed under old domains

Bad redirect methods = new pages being indexed under old domains

Hi,

We have a client with a bunch of old domains, all of which were to be consolidated under one new domain.

Originally we had used url re-direction to point traffic to the new site .. We've since changed this to 301 redirection, as a result of advice on these forums.

When I looked in google, I found that pages on the new site had been indexed under the old domain, instead of the new.

i.e. Instead of finding newdomain.com/section_a/index.html

I can only find

olddomain.com/section_a/index.html

Is this a result of the original method of re-directing? And is there anything I can do to rectify this .. At the moment we are in the awkward positon of having no search results for the new domain name ..

Thanks
