First post - so be gentle.

I have a domain - coinhunt.com that I'm in the process of updating. It had a placeholder page on it for a few weeks while I was busy.

Google indexed the placeholder, and then the content page - title, etc. appeared. Now google reports another site as the google serps (http://www.google.com/search?q=coinhunt.com). The domain is unrelated to me, different IP address, different host.

Should I be concerned? Any suggestions on how to remedy this situation?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Looks like a 301 redirect. That PR 5 belongs to australianmedia.com/

Thanks wheels.

I don't have the 301 in place, and http://web-sniffer.net/?url=coinhunt.com shows a 200 HTTP response.

And the PR5 rating was there prior to this all happening..

Thanks dave.

I knew nothing of this australianmedia.com domain until it showed up last week.

I've updated the certificate (https://coinhunt.com) so it no longer shows the placeholder page.

Any other suggestions? Should I send in an email via webmaster to google? If so, what should I say - is this considered a hijack or just an abnormal condition?
