www.mysite.com had some unique content and some 10k pages of affiliate content. Everything was in Google. Nothing was changed nor updated for about 18 month.
Then 6 month ago I realised that:
- the other domain had gone in google.
- www.mysite.com had lost it's PR
- www.mysite.com had lost almost all of its serps
Then:
- I deleted all the links from www.mysite.com to the disappeared site
- I deleted all the affiliate content
- I deleted all my content
- I setup about 30 pages of new unique content about the same products
- I setup a sitemap
But now:
- Google only spiders my www.mysite.com, but no other pages in this domain.
- PR is 0
- Serps for site:www.mysite.com only shows the main page and 3 old pages.
- Google cache for www.mysite.com if always about 3 weeks old.
My questions:
- Will this situation improve?
- Will my 30 pages get listed some day?
- Would it be better to swap to a fresh domain?
- Would it help to move from www.mysite.com to forum.mysite.com?
Thanks for your oppinion.
I deleted all my content

Disclaimer: only Google knows how it works.
Robots are not human. They don't understand the content in the human sense.
They probably use some other hints like: are URL's the same? has content changed significantly?
If the answer is positive, as seems is your case the robots believe that it is something completely new and treat it as new page or if you changed all the pages as new site.
In other words you got the completely new site so the new domain, I believe, will not help.
Though I never tried it myself, I would rather restore old URL's and content (where appropriate) and link from the old content to new one.
