Hello,

so my problem is that my website has just gone live however it was parked for ages on my developers site while I was modifying it. Now the developers site is way above the real website on the google rankings with the wrong domain!

I also had the site allocated to an incorrrect domain name that I changed, however the incorrect name still appears.

How to remove both incorrect entries from google ? or do I have to just ride it out until my actual website on the correct domain becomes more popular?

thanks

Have the developer 1) remove the dev site and 2) create 301 redirects to the live site.

and if you still have access to the incorrect domain name (which is a bit confusing!) put a 301 on that as well. Sooner or later the incorrect and dev site will disappear.
