Hi

I just did the 301 redirect from wordpress blog to a website about 1-2 weeks ago.

My wordpress blog originally rank top 10, but now both my wordpress blog and website rank over 200.

I wonder what's wrong with the redirection?

thanks

    did anything change?

    allot of times after redirection, it takes a few weeks to go back to your old ranking, sometimes a few months. but as long as there are not any drastic changes, you should see it start climbing back.

      mm... I actually created a new website with duplicate content first, then started building backlinks to it, but after 2/3 weeks the website still ranking over 300. So I decided to redirect my blog to a website.

      Now it's been 2 weeks since redirection. I should have started with a website rather than a wordpress blog... didn't expect so much trouble later on..

        Give it another week or so, i have 301 a page on my website and even though it had crawled the page (i know for a fact) Google didn't even register properly in the SERPS until about 3 weeks later.

    Well I just did one and seemed to drop down and couldn't work out of of 3 choices what it was exactly but I was suspicious. Hope it's not a few months.

    thanks for the information.
