: Google Webmaster not indexing my site I've moved my site from ak.net84.net to aramk.com, and I've redirected the pages from the old to the new using these methods in my htaccess for the old
I've moved my site from ak.net84.net to aramk.com, and I've redirected the pages from the old to the new using these methods in my htaccess for the old site:
all pages redirect to the new site using a rewrite rule, with 301 http code
manually specified redirects with 301 http code
removing all redirects, so all links to the old site will result in a 404 (redirects to my host's error page)
At the moment, it appears Google may be treating the sites as duplicates, so I've removed the indexed pages for the old site by using the "Blocked URLs" page in Google Webmaster.
The problem I'm having is that for my new site, Google is crawling but not indexing:
There are not health warnings for the new site, but there are health warnings for the old site (saying I have removed URLs). Meanwhile the old site is still being indexed:
The old site doesn't have a sitemap, and the robots.txt is blank. The new site does have a sitemap, but it's not being indexed:
At this point I've been waiting about a month without any changes while I try different settings, and I'm prepared to just delete the old site from my host completely in the hope Google will stop indexing it. Any other suggestions?

Your site is not redirecting.
ak.net84.net/ is not redirecting, and (assuming your URLs are the same as on the new site) your old pages are resulting in soft-404's.
I've removed the indexed pages for the old site by using the "Blocked URLs" page in Google Webmaster.
You don't want to block the old URLs; you want to redirect them. Otherwise Google will not see the redirects.
Your robots.txt file looks really odd - you appear to have javascript trying to call a PHP file in it!! I can't imagine Google liking that....
You could also try adding "Allow: *" in there. It shouldn't be absolutely necessary, but wouldn't be a bad idea to try. Also, try referencing the non-gzipped version of your sitemap.xml file. Again, the .xml.gz should be okay, but it's worth trying.
