How to return the position of the site in search engines?

Question

Yandex

Good afternoon! Help me please! I had a site my-pillow.rf I decided to change the design and at the same time replace the domain with lsclub.ru
The old site was redirected to the new site. But all positions sank. The old site was quite in high positions, and the new one is now practically zero. Within two months, positions were not restored. The old domain is about 3 years old, and the new one was bought in August 2014, maybe that's the issue? In principle, it is possible to assign this old domain to a new site, maybe this will help return positions? Or over time, search engines will realize that this is the same site and will rank this new domain normally? Thank you all in advance for your help! So much effort was put into SEO, I think with horror that I will have to start all over again :'( :'( :'(. All meta tags and pages of the old site are saved on the new one, they are almost clones)

Answer 1

You have a redirect from the main page, but not from internal pages (at least some), for example: http://my-pillow.rf/?product_cat=budushhim-mamam

Answer 2

You know, I didn’t do the redirect myself, the freelance girl did it. Apparently she has a lot of stocks ... but I didn’t know. Could you answer two questions:
1. If the redirect is done correctly, then the positions should, in theory, remain the same? or the fact that the new domain will still affect not for the better?
2. What can be done in this whole situation, if possible point by point. I'll show this list to a freelancer and let him do it, just to know what exactly is done wrong.
A BIG THANK YOU in advance!

1. Do the right redirect. The correct one is 301 from every page of the old domain to every page of the new domain.
2. Add both domains to webmaster.yandex.ru, specify which one is the main one.
3. Robots.txt and sitemap.xml files are required. In robots for the old site, write the new site as the domain.
4. Don't forget to add your new site to the Google Webmaster Dashboard. Follow the indexing of both sites through the Yandex and Google panel.
5. Write to Yandex support, ask for advice - https://webmaster.yandex.ru/site/feedback.xml , sometimes it helps.
6. After the sites stick together and the new domain becomes the main one, you can think about whether the positions returned or not. This will take a long time, it can take up to a couple of months. Positions should return, but not all. Many will succumb. There may be problems with the indexing of some pages.
In general, when you make a redirect, wait a few weeks, a month, and everything will be correctly transferred to the new domain, you can create another question and we will tell you what to do next (: Or write to the PM.
