In early May, I bought three aged/expired domains and a few new domains using my brand name with different TLDs to use as landing pages. Initially, the new domains ranked well in positions 1st–3rd, while the aged domains ranked around 4th–6th. However, after 1–2 weeks, all of my domains disappeared from the keyword rankings—even from the last pages.
Interestingly, when I searched using long-tail keywords like “brandname login” or “brandname link,” the domains were still ranking well.
I waited a few days and then redirected some of my fresh domains to one main domain, brandname.com. A few days later, all my aged and fresh domains reappeared in the top 1st–6th positions.
But after a few weeks, the same issue happened again—all my domains disappeared from the rankings. It has now been two weeks, and none of them have reappeared.

My questions:
- What happened?
- What can I do to fix this?
