I'm a newbie and I couldn't find answer on my problem elswhere.
And here the problem is:
I made a new site and I started to advertize it on a site with PR5. Google picked it up in few days. The problem begun when I misstyped my domain on that site (www.my-domain.com instead www.mydomain.com - which I both owe).
Than I started to advertize www.mydomain.com around the world and google of course. After few months I found out that google listed only www.my-domain.com and not www.mydomain.com.
I realized a mistake I made and corrected the domain on PR5 site to mydomain.com (from that point on, nowhere on internet was domain my-domain.com), waited a month or so and of course nothing changed becouse Google thinks that every domain not being my-domain.com is a mirror.
A month ago I removed all mirror domains, made a single page webs with appologize 'sorry we moved' and a link to mydomain.com.
Now Google removed me from index completly ;(. I think that's becouse I had all ex-mirror domains on same IP, with same simple message and only one link to mydomain.com.
Few days ago I changed all links from ex-mirror sites to mydomain.com to javascript links.
The question is: what should I do now?
I'd like to keep mydomain.com since it have links from other sites.
But how to get it into google index?
Thanx for all answers.

Looks like there's a little mess there, so even though Google can sometimes accidentally drop a site for a month because of a technical problem or server down, there could be a problem in your case. It's a little confusing with all that's been done, and you have to remember that Googlebot doesn't follow JS links.
If you want to keep mydomain.com and try to get it back in instead of getting a new domain name, you might want to just get out altogether, excluding Googlebot in .htaccess for a month or two for all the domains, then remove the exclusion only on mydomain.com and still keep the others out.
If it weren't this far gone you could do a 301 redirect from my-domain.com but at this point I'd keep everything else out and try for just mydomain.com - possibly with another IP number.
How can I exclude Googlebot on IIS and how do I do 301 redirect on IIS?
So, there is no way I can somehow 'redirect' other domains to my main domain without getting banned by Google?
