I'm in a situation that is probably played out tens of 1000's of time
each day.
I've closed my Yahoo website and put it up at another website.
I have notified Google of the address change.
I waited a month and when I do a search for the site name my old
address comes up at the top of the Google search. My new address
doesn't even show up at all!
So my question is:
How do I rid Google and other search engines of my old address?
I think part of the problem is that when you delete a website with
Yahoo it doesn't put up a 401 or 404 error message (whatever that
number is). Rather it puts up its own message saying the site no longer
exists. This Yahoo message page probably satisfies Google webcrawlers
into thinking that everything is OK.
Help would be appreciated. TIA
