At the beginning of February (11-12th), I was splitting my site, which consisted of two very different projects, into each having its own subdomain.

My problem is that after two months, Google keeps ranking my main domain for keywords specific to one of the subdomains (i.e., I was and still am ranked second for very specific keywords). When searching for these, Google is still ranking me second, but linking to my main domain even though it hasn't had this content for the past two months.

I'm trying to get it to link instead to my subdomain, or a page on it. I've already setup a 301 redirect from example.com/cazy to research.example.com/cazy

I can't indicate through Google Webmaster Tools that my site has changed addresses because I've split the previous content into two different subdomains.

Has anyone tried something similar and solved this issue, or have any idea how I can get ranked on my subdomain instead of my main domain?

I did a search today where I was not logged in to Chrome, and it listed my sub-domain and my main domain on the first page. I thought this was weird, why now, so suddenly after this question.

I didn't realize that I had turned on personal search results for Google, which affected the results I saw. Turning off personal search results for Google gave me the expected results with my sub-domain now ranking for the specific keywords.
