Changing Domain Names

[skypower]

Hi,

We have changed our domain about 3 weeks ago, but Google still has it listed. I have submitted the change to DMOZ, and Google.

Part of the problem is that the domain was used for a site very similar before and is listed with Google for that at the moment.

Is there anything else I should be doing to make the change happen?

Thanks

Neil

Hi,

I have just rechecked and Google now has the correct info (title, description, etc) although it has the old domain as a link. You then get forwarded via the 301 I have set up.

A little strange I thought.

Old www.devonandsomersetballoons.co.uk
New www.balloon-flights.net

To speed matters up, you have to make sure that the new domain gets indexed. Start off by putting it in your forum signature so that it gets crawled more quickly.
