Suspended Site and Potential Dupe Content Penalty
- SEO |
Yesterday the hammer finally dropped on my free WP hosted site (I knew it would but didn't find that out until after building the site as a total newbie).
Staying up until all hours of the night I finally have managed to get myself a real domain and real hosting and (mostly) transfer my blog in it entirety over there.
It will probably take google a little while to notice the new site but I'm worried because the old site is still showing all over 1st page results for all my keywords...driving traffic to a dead site
Will my new site be punished for duplicate content if the crawler comes across the new site before crawling and noticing the old site is down? Should I unpublish the content on my new site and wait for google to deindex the old one?
Is there a way to TELL google to deindex the old site? I'm pretty worried about getting nailed for dupe content even though it's all my original content...its just been posted before on a now defunct site. Shouldn't be punished for that but who knows, I thought I better ask.
Regards,
Curtis
