When my site dessapeared from google index I notice that:
A search for www.domain.com will not show anything and "webpages that contain the term www.domain.com" showed nothing either
while a search for www.domain.co.uk (pointing-parked domain), despite not showing either as url,it showed quite a lot of pages from my website after clicking in "webpages that containt the terms www.domain.co.uk"
Is that behaviour normal?
I mean, a pointing domain should not show at all, shouldnt?
I kind of suspect that somehow Google having confused itself with a pointing domain and "thinking" that it was a duplicate, are of why they have removed my main domain.
Could I be right on my statement?
Thanks
Remember that search engines have no way of knowing which is the parked domain, and which is the 'real' domain, unless you 'tell' them by using a 301 redirect on the parked domain.
Search for 301 redirect here for more information on how to do this.
