Strangest thing started happening few days ago, for a title of my brand new article I get results from new and OLD domain !
It seems impossible, but its happening.
I use description tag so google lists it in the SERPS
For an article title search google gives the new domain:
www.newdomain.com/category/articletitle.html
But also the old domain:
www.olddomain.com/_article?9866898
Something like that, query string.
New article was never put on the old domain, but somehow it lists it !
The description in the serps is also identical !
The old domain is redirects to new one, so when I click on the result I go to my new front page, but it looks like this:
www.newdomain.com/_article?9866898
The query string stays.
Will google see it as duplicate of my frontpage? And more importnatly, how in the world did my old domain catch that article when I dont even use it?
What am I to do? I guess the logical step would be to delete everything from the old domain and just leave the htaccess file with the redirect?
I need to mention that the old domain was made from some complex framework that might cause all this trouble, but again I cant figure out how.
