I think i might have slipped up here and would love some advice on this before i start making changes

We have the domains mysite.com and mysite.co.uk Currently we have the main site on mysite.com , this runs a host of subdomains uand redirects for other sites, in asp.net

I develop in php and as such thought it would be easiest to launch a new server and host the new site on mysite.co.uk and put a frame forward on the mysite.com domain.

This would means no other changes needed, as i wasnt too sure about the DNS settings and certainly wouldnt want to play with the source code and server.
This frame forward provided by 123-reg seems to have destroyed all page rankings though, cant find mysite.com in any searches

Is there away to get the mysite.com ranking back up to the top again?

Thanks for your advice

Frames are not search engine friendly and frame forwarding is definitely not how you want to do this. As you can see it is not search engine friendly and only hurts you. Plus users can find it confusing because the URL in the address bar never changes. Basically it's a bad idea all the way around.

What you need to do is a proper 301 redirect from the old URLs to the new URLs. That will forward both search engines and users to the new pages and also transfer over any link popularity your current pages have. It also tells search engines to update their indexes with the new pages and to remove the old ones.

To summarize:

Get rid of that frame redirect
Set up a 301 redirect from the old URLs to the new URLs
If you have no pages indexed then submit an XML sitemap to Google through their Webmasters Tools
Be patient. It isn't going to correct itself overnight.
