Hello all,

Redesigned an old site and added a lot of new content. Bought a brand new domain, uploaded the new site and completely deleted the old site from the old domain, leaving just a page with a meta refresh to my new location.

In two days I got my site indexed in Google and made about 150 hits from G alone. The following days slowly droped to about 50 hits per day and now I'm rising again. I rank well in top 20 for may main keyword (widget) but nowhere to be found for keyword "widget October" (very important to me). In the first two days I was in top 10 for "widget October". Maybe this is a Jagger thing...
Today when I type in google "link:mysite.com" I get a list of links but the weird thing is that the links are to my old domain. How could this be possible? I used meta refresh not 301 redirect...

Any ideas? Thanks

Ps: Should I expect a sandbox soon? Until now this is to good to last forewer...
