I changed long time ago (3months) and yahoo still is not picking up my new domain.

301 redirect used.

old-domain.com still has 227 pages indexed at yahoo
new-domain.com 1 page (home)

yahoo links:
old-domain.com 273 crappy links
new-domain.com 4860 good links

What am I doing wrong?

I find Yahoo isn't very quick to pick things up sometimes.

I would pick 50 URLs of your old site and make a page that lists them all and then put that page on some other site. That will let the search engines see and spider the redirects directly.

Use a program like WebBug to make sure that the response really is 301 too.

I checked. The 301 response is ok for all the pages indexed at Yahoo.

I also got some other sites to link to the old pages.

what else can I do?

Thanks for the help...
