old website taking priority over new site in google, help

old website taking priority over new site in google, help

Postby chopficaro2 on Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:16 pm

hello
you wonderful informative folks helped me make a resume site for myself some time ago
i have since lost the username for ftp access to the site and remade it with paid hosting instead of free hosting, with my own domain name and everything
the old site was number 2 for searching for patrick allard on google, but the new site is far down the list

ive tried contacting the free hosting provider, trying to get him to delete the site or relink it, even giving him the password and offering $10
as i expected the customer service on free hosting isn't top notch
does anyone have any ideas on how i might fix this?

First, try your best to regain xs to the free hosting thing. Your best option is to forward from the old hosting to the new hosting with a 302 redirect.

If that fails, then check the conditions for the free hosting thing, if it hasn't got "you grant us a PERPETUAL license to host your stuff" in it, then you can threaten to sue them if they don't take it off line. Send 'm 1 message a day for 2 months in which you state that you revoke their license to host your stuff. It might work to get the old stuff deleted.
Then, as the previous poster said: re-host the old stuff and build some links on the web to it, so google finds it.

Good luck.
