Need help with a problem I'm having

First of all, sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where it fit best.

OK so I purchased a domain on Namejet: www.contentclix(dot)com and have set up dns to point at my server. It was purchased as a pre release and I have set up a simple blog for the time being.

I seem to be having a couple of problems with the site:

1. When I fetch Googlebot in WMT it's showing up as there being a 301:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2010 04:05:14 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.14
X-Pingback: http://contentclix.com/xmlrpc.php
Location: Article Writing | SEO content writing | Content Writer
Content-Length: 0
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=99
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Why would this be?

2. The site has dropped off Google altogether. Is this normal when there is a change of ownership?

3. I have installed "all in one seo" and for some reason, spiders arent picking up my page title - they are referring to www.contentclix(dot)com

I have never bought an expiring domain before so pardon my noobness!

    I also don't have an answer, but I learned what fetching the googlebot means, so thanks for that. Hope you figure it out soon.

    The domain is indexed with the parking links it once had so the domain is still good..sometime depending on your host it will take up to 24 hours to change hands in the DNS (although it has only happend to me one time) so tomorrow if still not showing then call your hosting co otherwise the domain itself is good

      Sorry if I misunderstood what you have said (I'm not overly technical) but the DNS seem to have updated. The site is now correctly pointing where it should be. The thing that is puzzling me is googlebot saying there is a permanent redirect going on.....

        Now that the DNS is pointing where it should, it might be time to invite the googlebot again. The redirect is probably a remnant of the old expired domain page.

    It probably has to do with DNS cache. As DNChamp said, it'll take 24 hours for the cache to clear. But I'd say give it an extra day, so wait for a total of 48 hours before you start sending emails

    it can take 3 weeks to 3 months, for google to do the wobble dance and make all the changes.

    I bought a expired domain, set everything up, aug 28th, 3 days ago, it finally detected my sited 301, and my site moved up from 13th to second for my main key-phrase.

    and the phrase gets over 600-700 searches daily, I have seen a 1000% increase in traffic, but it took almost 3 months for everything to happen in the search engines.
