Hi,
Our business website forums are running since 2 year now we have a problem with the domain name, person who registered the domain had internal disputes and started his own business on the same domain name. Legally we are not a registered company and do
not have any legal documents sharing the ownership rights for the domain or the site contents.
Other person owns the domain name (since we registered) and we (staff of our forums) owns the database and site content, which has been managed completely by me.
Domain Owner had some personal issues with 1 staff member; who tookeover the
domain name started his own forums now. We are left domain less...
Our forum member database is 17000
Page Ranking is 7.0 for main page and 5.0 for forums
We receive 50000 unique via Google everyday.
Our Staff Members have spend a lot of time configuring the forums (more then 1000 hours) and now all our efforts (includes lots of combined hours of work/time by all the moderators/staff members) have gone for a toss.
The old domain has more then 250000 pages indexed via Google, is there anyway we can persuade Google to convert change these indexed pages to new domain?
OR
Can Google remove this dead links? Since this domain owner is getting fake hits via dead links since all the links are pointing to our content only.
We tried to have a negotiation with the domain owner but he is not ready to share the domain... He has taken over the domain completely to a new site, and now earning all alone with Google ad sense. (All dead links on Google indexes)
All the old links pointing to his domain are now dead, since he does not has the database or any site content.
We need some help on this, we will loose 2 years of our handwork due to this domain abuser. We do not want this person to be happy with other work.. , earning the entire funds from google adsense all alone on the work done by others..
Thanks,
John
