Problem with Google results

[Jet]

I run a website www.musicfromfilm.com.

Up until recently everything was displaying fine in Google's search results but in the last few days this happened:

I have no idea why the url is being displayed like that. I do also own ukreleasedates.com and the site was on the same webspace (until I deleted it a few months ago) but why would Google show that as the url?

There would be no-one linking to my site in that way. Any ideas?

 

[unwashed potato!]

what is appearing wrong? the only one i see you own is the top 1 plus the indented result which is the same site, and the reason it's appearing is because of the ukreleasedates.com/musicfromfilm/index.php and also the email account [email protected] as well as any other reason

How about redirect (301) ukreleasedates to musicfromfilm.com that would tell Google the site has permanently moved to the new location and sort the Google results out.

Not really sure why it's randomly appearing like that though

I'd build some more links from different sites to your new domain too, as most your links are coming from about 3 sites (mostly OCUK)

Well up until a few days ago the url was displayed as www.musicfromfilm.com rather than with ukreleasedates in front of it.

Take a look at this screenshot:

You can see from the Harold and Kumar entry how it should be (and was) displayed, i.e. the domain is musicfromfilm and nothing to do with ukreleasedates. There's no mention of ukreleasedates anywhere on the site.

I did notice in cpanel that I have ukreleasedates.com as an add on domain so I've deleted that since I no longer use it. Reckon that could be causing the problem?

I know I need more links. I was trying to build the content of the site up and get every page finished before I started asking sites for links in the hope I could get links from the bigger sites. I get a fair few from imdb and Yahoo answers so far but not from any others really.

Strange, this thread now comes in 4th on google. Have you a sitemap submitted? If no, then I would do so....and set up a 301 redirect from ukreleasesdates.com if the pages still exist. Try re submitting the domain to google as well and see if they spider the domain again.

From what I've been reading lately there's "things" going on at Google.

I posted recently about a site of mine that until a few weeks ago had been coming up consistently in Google searches for certain key phrases on page one in the top 5 results, every time, for about 2 years.

Then suddenly it vanished off the search engine radar for no particular reason hasn't been banned, no black hat SEO and the url is still indexed ).

I've still not fathomed out why.

Reading some of the popular SEO forums, theres quite a few people having issues with Google, rankings and search results.

Sorry, that's as much use to you as a choccie fireguard.
