Hi everyone.

So I have made a fairly large niche site in Nov-Dec 19, but realized approx 6-8 weeks ago, that my domain name was crap, as I wanted to build the site into a more serious large site, and add a webshop and more...
I contacted my hosting, Siteground, and they forwarded everything from the old domain to the new better/brandable domain name.

However... Now, it`s been approx 6 weeks, and I am not getting a lot of visitors.
It seems that Google is having some issues with me forwarding the domain, even though everything was done with permanent redirects and I informed Google about it in Google webmaster tools and so on...

I know this may sound like the typical crap, and maybe I just got a sh** site and that's why I got issues.
I can say 100% that that´s not the case. Its a site with approx. 200.000 words, and 100% unique good quality articles, and of an average of 2000 words each.

My old domain is still indexed in Google, so today I did something I hope will save my site...
Deleted the old domain completely. Just praying to the Google Gods that it will not be an issue, as this site has cost me a lot of time, and money.

Any idea how I can get the site indexed faster, and get everything on track faster...
Currently, only 25 articles are indexed. I tried to look at all specs I can think of, but I have no idea what the F... is going on.

If you got any ideas please let me know.
