hey lads,

I have a problem with 301 redirect and ranking. I wonder if any of you had similar issue recently. so basically my site was 1st page 4. position on most of the keywords and i decided to 301 redirect and change the domain. I wanted to have .com domain. After redirection, my old domain stayed on first page for 4 days and then disappeared from search and new domain appeared from 8th page on some keywords and that's all. Do you think there is something wrong ? Do i need to worry ? Thanks

It happens like that always, at least from my experience.

It takes a while before the complete link juice gets passed. Weeks into months.

Create more fresh content on the new domain as well as links to help improve things faster.
 
Search Engine is a very inert system. So better wait sometime and keep doing what you have been doing before. In a matter of weeks everything should get sorted.
