Really appreciated. I'll move the contents of the default subdomain to the root domain over the next weeks. I'll have to leave redirects back to the new destination to stop 404s from currently cached pages though. Thanks again! Wow Thanks for the advice. Really appreciated.

Google especially does not like redirects used to create a domain name which in your case is setup to look like a subdomain. Historically, many people consider that type of redirection both sneaky and to be a form of spam. Thus, at some level, Google is discriminating against your use of redirection. Your <a href="http://i-conica.net/robots.txt" rel="nofollow">robots.txt</a> file for i-conica.net is completely invalid. You should check all your robots.txt files with a <a href="http://tool.motoricerca.info/robots-checker.phtml" rel="nofollow">robots.txt file checker</a> for validity. Google does not like redirects.

For instance when i-CONICA.net is accessed it is redirected to downloads.i-CONICA.net, you think that is important? Thanks.
