Help!!! urls are not showing up

[priceshark]

We switched hosting companies about a month ago, now we have a dedicated server which hosts www.priceshark.com, since we did the switch, google was able to index some page , but most pages from our site are not showing up on google yet! Are we doing something wrong? Or its just a matter of time?

Any advise is appreciated

Google has about 400 pages from your site in its index.

yes it shows 400 urls but those are the old urls from the old hosting account, no urls have been indexed from the new site!

Did you put a redirect from the old URL's to the new ones?

Yes we did a redirect to the new site, is that why? should I remove the redirect?

[cbp]

Can you give an eg of the old and new URL's?

this url http://www.priceshark.com/subcat.php...=48/mcatid=221

is from the old site, which is showing up on google

This is a new url http://www.priceshark.com/prod_searc.../3/Theater/0/0

which is NOT showing up on google!

None of the new urls are showing !

I think you just need to wait it out. Google sees the different URLs as, well... different and new. So it will need to index them in the usual way and that takes a little bit of time.

Hi there,
this redirect does not forward to the new ULR as stated, but does go to the home page instead.

So how should Google find the new detailed page. It will delete the old old URLs over time (hopefully you did a 301 redirect,, I haven't checked). But you need new (static) links to establish the new search result pages.

It would be better if you can map the old pages into the new pages with equivalent results (content). This would also allow you to track down all the folks in the world that, that have static links to your old structure and ask them to replace it with the new equivalent URL.

Best, never retire any URL what so ever. Always do a 301 redirect to the best matching content possible. It is cumbersome, isn't it. But that is what you do!

Have fun
