Hi
I would have to agree with Dana - and again if I have read your question correctly.
Your current site has been penalised and basically you want to move to a new url to rank highly but not lose brand awareness or direct visitors to your site. If this is what your asking then its not possible, Google will simple pass the penalty to the new url.
Here is the solution, but it requires hard work and will take time.
Resolve the penalty and boost your rankings, I am only guessing that you have been hit by Penguin as its just rolled, but if you have. Do a full link audit, work out which links are toxic and are causing you to drop rankings. After you have complied this list you have two options and it depends if you have a manual penalty or just been hit by Penguin.
Manual Penalty: you will need to contact all these web masters and try and get as many as the links removed as possible. Keep evidence that you have contacted these web masters, emails etc. Then the ones you haven't been able to get removed add to a disavow file and upload in WMT. Then go through the reconsideration request - at this stage you will need to show all the emails you have sent and a list of all the links you have got removed.
Been hit by Penguin: A lot easier (but will take longer to recover), once you have got you list of bad links, simply add them as a disavow file. Keep this disavow file as any future disavow files you do, you need to add to this original list. Now you just have to sit back and wait for Penguin to roll again and unfortunately we haven't been told yet when this will roll again and how frequently it will roll.
If it is the case you have been hit by Penguin, you need to do some white hat techniques of building links. If the bad links were done by you, then you might want to read this article: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links. If the links we're built by a previous SEO company / employee - make sure that the old tatics aren't used again. Sit down with the SEO agency and explain what you want. If its done by your current SEO agency, I would personally fire them, no agency in my opinion should be building bad links. Penguin has been out long enough for SEO agencies to have changed tactics of link building, but if you do want to stay with them, explain you want a different strategy to link building.
Basically 301 won't work in the long term, you will lose your direct customers and get the penalty passed anyway.

Hi! Can you clarify your question a little bit please? You said "dropped domain." What do you mean by that? It sounds like what I'm hearing you say is that you had an old domain that was dropped from Google, but you are concerned that actual visitors to that old domain are able to find your new domain, without inheriting the bad link profile that may ahve cause the old domain to get dropped.
Honestly, you may not be able to accomplish what you are wanting. But I need to know more first so that's why I asked for clarification. I'd be glad to help if possible.
Cheers,
Dana

SERP Hijacking/Content Theft/ 302 Redirect?
Sorry for the second post, thought this should have it's own. Here is the problem I am facing amongst many others. Let's take the search term "Air Jordan Release Dates 2017" and place it into Google Search. Here is a link:
On-Page Optimization | | SneakerFiles
https://www.google.com/#q=air+jordan+release+dates+2017 Towards the bottom of the page, you will see a website that has SneakerFiles (my website) in the title. The exact title is: Air Jordan Release Dates 2016, 2017 | SneakerFiles - Osce Now, this is my content, but not my website. For some reason, Google thinks this is my site. If you click on the link in search, it automatically redirects you to another page (maybe 302 redirect), but in the cache you can see it's mine:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:qrVEUDE1t48J:www.osce.gob.pe/take_p_firm.asp%3F+&cd=8&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us I have blocked the websites IP, disallowed my style.css to be used so it just shows a links without the style, still nothing. I have submitted multiple google spam reports as well as feedback from search. At times, my page will return to the search but it gets replaced by this website. I even filed a DMCA with Google, they declined it. I reached out to their Host and Domain register multiple times, never got a response. The sad part about this, it's happening for other keywords, for example if you search "KD 9 Colorways", the first result is for my website but on another domain name (my website does rank 3rd for a different Tag page). The page I worked hard on keeping up to date. I did notice this bit of javascript from the cloaked/hacked/serp hijacking website: I disabled iFrames...(think this helps) so not sure how they are doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Note: I am using Wordpress if that means anything.0 -

Duplicate meta data for 301 redirected items
Google webmaster tools tells me that I have duplicate title tags for two items. They have the same product ID. When there is a change in SEO URL, the system does an automatic 301 redirect of the first item towards the second item, like in the example below:

/p48998/foam-board-school-project-kit-22-x-28/product_info.html /p48998/white-foam-board-school-project-kit/product_info.html What are we doing wrong that Google asks for different meta data for a 301 redirect? Thanks!0 -
Can you 301 redirect to a page that has other pages 301 to it?
Two years ago updated url page to include better keywords and used a 301 redirect from the old page to the new. so www.example.com/keyword-1st-generation.html now points to ... www.example.com/keyword-2nd-generation.html That moved the pages up in ranking, but now have better kw for the url, so is it okay to redirect the /keyword-2nd-geration-html to www.example.com/keyword-3rd-generation.html And what is a good length of time before removing the 1st-generation url? It's been 3 years and there is no chance of using it again. Plus, no sign of it in analytics.
