If you removed the 301 redirection but they still redirect, it's seem your domain was hacked and transferred away, check whois.
 
When clicking the site from G, it redirects to another site.. when i navigate to it directly, it does not. so i think G has it as a permanent 301 in their system,... how can this be!
 
You may have a trojan virus on your computer that has hijacked your Google search page, that redirects to scam websites when clicking searched links in Google.

Ask someone you trust to click on your link in Google and see if this is the case.

If this isn't the case and you have full access to your cpanel and have deleted the 301 redirect, then it maybe you may need to wait for Google to update the cache of your website so it no longer redirects as before.

Also checking your .htaccess file for any strange code maybe needed.
 
contact your domain provider

No google dont do that, you should check whois first, do your domain still at your registrar ?
 
seems like what Jacksparrow said is a little right.. i restarted the computer and now everything is fine again. but I also deleted the whole public_html folder as well.. how are they doing redirects outside .htaccess now.. scary
 
If it is google redirecting it rather than your htaccess you can try to put webmaster tools on it then fetch the site as googlebot from wmt then the submit to index button once it fetches. If it is google redirecting it then that may clear it. I'm really not sure if Google remembers 301s tho
 
Actually everyone in here is likely wrong, I've been through this before
its actually a common exploit/hack that has been popular in the past
recent months.

Your website is STILL infected, even though you aren't experiencing anymore.

Here's what happens, the 301 redirect only happens once or twice, then you
won't experience it again. It will happen ONLY when a user visits your website
from Google, thus making it hard for Webmasters to know whats happening.

Your site has a sneaky redirect happening, I wrote a post about it around 4 or
so months ago. Check your websites code, as it will still be visible. I found the code
in the footer of my site, but it might vary. Sometimes the code is encrypted, other
times its a visible php redirect. If you want give me your URL and I'll see if I can
find it on your site.

Again, your site is still infected, even though you think you fixed the problem.

Hes prolly right on the money here. Keep your eyes peeled in your code for some iframes or blatent html redirects. They will more than likely be in the footer. Although every once in awhile I see them in headers as well.
 
OP said he deleted the entire public_html folder .. how does he have a malicious file on the site if the site is deleted? That could be what happened to start the dilemma but once the site was deleted the malicious code likely was too
 
Call the police :D

No...

Try to get as many informations as you can about your competitor,and then,you can either ask him for a lot of money,or hire a lawyer,and get him to get your 10-20k ;)
 
Also, as everyone else said, check the DNS record on your server (if it's on your server anyways) they might have changed that.
