I have two websites, one looks like www.my-domain.com which was launched one year ago, anther looks like www.mydomain.com which was launched two months ago (difference between two sites is hyphen only). I am going to use www.mydomain.com only, therefore, I use 301 redirect to redirect www.my-domain.com to www.mydomain.com. Now, both of the two sites’ PR are 5 during the latest PR update. However, www.mydomain.com has not yet been indexed by Google. Can anyone explain why a site is not indexed by Google but has PR 5? How can I let my new site be indexed by Google faster? Appreciate your help.

301 redirect from old site is not enough to get your new site indexed. It needs it's own backlinks. Get other sites link to your new site.

Have you checked to make sure that your server is serving up a proper 301 Permanent Redirect? Also, what about the links going to your domains--do you have links going to both sites or are there more links going to one site versus the other?
Without knowing the domains in particular it's hard for me to give more specific advice. But, if you'd like feel free to put the domain(s) in your profile and I'll take a look--or PM them to me and I'll gladly help out.

I have bulit up more backlinks for my new domain, I think the PR should be from the links of the new domain. The old domain is ((URL REMOVED)), the new domain without "-", please check it out and help me. Thanks

starmmass, it appears that both domains (with and without the hyphen) are banned in Google. That's what's showing when you search for either domain name. But, a site: search for your hyphenated version returns results, so it may not be banned, there might just be an issue with the 302 redirect that Google doesn't like.
The domain with the hyphen has a 302 redirect and not a 301 Permanent Redirect to the domain without the hyphen.
I would fix the redirect and make it a 301 Permanent Redirect and wait to see if that fixes the issues you're having.

The redirect needs to be applied to all pages of the old site, needs to be a 301 redirect, and needs to preserve all of the folder and files names in the redirected URL.

since my new domain is only 2 months age, I think it is more likely the site has not yet indexed by Google than banned by Google. I am wondering why a sist has PR 5 but still not indexed by Google? I have built up some quality backlinks, have any other ways to get Google indexed faster?

How are you claiming that it is not indexed in Google?
Does a site:domain.com search really return zero results?

It looks like you've got the 301 Permanent Redirect in place now from the hyphenated to the non-hyphenated version of your site. I would wait a few days and see if it works itself out.
In the meantime, I would work on getting the links on other sites to your hyphenated domain changed so that they point to the non-hyphenated domain. The more links you can get updated the better it will be.
I would also take a look at your site's web stats to see if Google is crawling your site. If it's not, then you might want to remove the cookies; that might be prohibiting Google from crawling your site because they don't accept cookies. If you have no need for cookies, I would remove them entirely.

Hi,bhartzer, thanks very much for your comments. I submitted the sitemap to Google since the site created (two months ago) and Google did crawle it regularly. What cookies do you refer to? and how to remove it?

I have to say that you were brave to dump the old url, I would of bought the new one and put a 301 on the new url and retained all the status of the old one.
This makes even more sense when you think that the internal pages of the old site are also dead as they are unique to the old url.
Considering that the new domain is not delivering a new website I recon it will take ages to regain what you had with the old site.
Google will have to forget everything from the old name and start to apply it to the new name, the trouble is that Google gets confused doing this and it has dropped the root url of the old name (so it appears to be banned) but has hung on to the internal pages (thus showing up in a sitesearch).
The new links will take ages to be properly accredited to the new domain and dont trust the pr rating and certainly do not use it as a guide to whether Google accepts it as the dominant one of the two.
I hope you had a great reason for doing it this way round.

if I don't use 301 redirect and keep some content of old domain, the content will not be exact same as content of old domain. Because the old domain already indexed by Google with PR5, I could create some links in the old domain pointing to the new domain, thus could be able to increase backlinks of the new domain, will this be a good idea?
