Google is learning 301s from the LinkResearchTools
Sep 10
A funny finding with out new site here at LinkResearchTools.com
For whatever weird reason Google forgot how to interpret 301 redirects and double-indexed pages on our site as you can see below.
If you perform a standard SITE: query for our domain you will find a lot pages listed twice or even three times.
That’s why we thought we’ll draw up a simple explanation for the Google engineers 
LinkResearchTools.com help Google find it's 301s again ...
Actually, these http headers should be fine (as usual),
but obviously is not sufficient for Google today
looks like the Google bot got distracted by our SuperHero toolkit…

Of course we assume this is just a minor glitch – and wonder if YOU see this just as we do.
Let us know… and don’t forget to signup for our private-beta …
the queue is filling up like crazy…

We noticed last week that 3 of our 301s that we did for entire sites are not working correctly in Google. We had changed the name of a few different websites, same content, and the rankings were ok for last 2 months then last week all 3 sites that had newer 301s dropped out of SERPs.
We have been doing testing and still cannot figure out hot to fix. Must be an issue with their spider.

Based on the dates you wrote this, I would say that You’ll have to wait for Google to re-read your pages. The cached version of the URL http://www.linkresearchtools.com/lrt/cblt/ was read (with the old content) on september 8.
It just doesn’t happen over night. Also – instead of Google changing the state of a website quickly, Google does leave room for failure, meaning You _could_ have made the redirect by mistake.
It’s way too premature to call this a Google glicth imho.
Otherwise – nice site!
