Here is a situation:
After domain registration I discovered that it was previously used. Nothing strange about it and I'm sure it happens all the time. However, before it expired, I think it was "officially" redirected to a different site.
And now, if you search for my domain, that other site still comes up. Even if you look specifically for content from my site using "site:" tag in google like this site:mynewdomain.com
Did anyone experienced anything similar? I know it takes time to index or re-index a site, but I did followed all good practiced, created content, sitemaps etc. Added my site to google webmaster tools. I think I did everything I need, but I only get very low organic exposure even though there are quite a lot of backlinks to my site, and the quality of content is really decent as I'm not taking any black hat shortcuts here.
Today, over 6 months passed and google still thinks my domain is a pointer to a different site.
By the way, I did audited my site and my hosting account, there is no chance that it actually points to that domain somehow.
