In the start of 2013 my blog started to fail. I do not know whether its the result of a SEO problem or because I didn't write much. I received a lot of guest post requests and accepted many. They brought a lot of links which I think might have contributed to the problem. I removed many guest posts from the site. I stopped writing and only wrote a handful of posts for almost an year. Now I want to restart it.

I bought a new domain and moved the site to it. But is it a good move? How to find out whether my old one is bad?

My old domain : techhamlet.com
the new one : techhamlet.net

    You are using same post in both sites that's not good. Use one either old one or new one, Publishing same post on both site is going to harm your site.

      No actually the old one is now redirecting to the new one. But im thinking of going back to the old one. Is it good?

    Changing domain doesn't make any sense except of course if you're pulling SEO trick
    by shining your domains to us, which is IMHO exactly what you're doing.

    Actually I didn't wanted my domains to shine. That's why I didn't link them. Just plain text. So please help me. Shall I go back to the old domain or go with this new one?

    Redirecting will not help in this case, you have two options, either keep working on your old domain, or start fresh with the new domain.

      Thanks for the advice :-) I decided to work with the old domain :-)
