I had also seen some guys here on DP reported that there website is not getting indexed properly and there website is taking lot of time to get index !!

If you still feel that ur story deserve to be indexed then please answer the above questions so that it will be easy to figure out this update !! Please let us know here as it will be easy to understand what's going on exactly with Google Index !! Thanks
Yes, I m also facing the same problem with my four sites.. How many rankings u fluctuated? My Site was on 2nd page but now it is on 20th page on a keyword. Is there any crawling issue 2 ?? Like u have noticed some delay in index ? or anything similar ?? No. Do u do link exchange ? Yes, But now I removed all links. How old is ur website ? around 2 months.
Thanks sherry2008 for the quick contribution !! Seems like your site is in Sand Box right now !! It will take something around 6months for ur website to get out of this effect
No Buddy !! This is not a penalty !! This happens with every new domain .. keep on doing the good work Keep on building backlinks .. 4-5 links a day (Trust is Important then Building Anchor Text) !! Once you will complete 6Months you will start noticing some stable ranks !!
My keywords had droped its ranking during the google's latest update...but slowly its coming back ...but not ranked as earlier....one good thing is my competitors also lost ther ranking along with me Also, my current PR is 5...my predicted PR was showing 6 (i've checked in almost 10-12 predicting softwares)...during the latest google update....but its not changed ....i believe now it wont change or is it still possible that my site PR will be 6 in future ????
Seems like you are also a PR Fan like others here on DP Let me tell you a fact, The real reason why everyone look for PR: PR (PageRank) - This is like a Trust rank for a Domain !! What I had seen there are 2 Types of PR, One is what you can see on your Google ToolBar and other Software's like you had mentioned above !! (This type is not really important). To get a Good Google Toolbar PR Just buy some Good PR Links and You are done with it. (If caught you will loose all of your PR in a second). The other type is the Internal PR into the System, This is the PR we can't see .. This is what given after seeing the quality of your content and other factors like the quality of incoming links you have !! In this case if u are able to get a Good relevant link from a PR0 domain you will get a Rank Boostup !! Check this article Backlinks are the most important factor for ranking. So my advice for you, Don't run after PR, Provide quality content and you will get automatic natural backlinks with lot of juice and who knows u will get PR10 ??
Well...i am not after the PR stuff....i completely know that PR is irrelevant...but just had a query as to why its showing PR 6 as predicted....It does not matter to me if my PR increases or not...
Prediction tools are irrelevant !! They are based on the Tool Owner's calculation, Google Browser Rank (PR) is based on the Google's PR algorithm !! There is Alot of difference B/W them
I had a drastic loss in SERP for my main keyword but yet gained rank in over 100 catagories that I were not even trying to rank in.
Please answer the questions, I asked above: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=8748338&postcount=1 This will help us to figure out what exactly is going on !!
The sandbox effect is just a myth, all new websites get indexed by Google first and rank fairly well for some time, then fall or rise in rankings depending many factors. There is no time associated with it, just keep generating fresh content and build quality inbound links and you will rise I seen many new websites rank immediately for some popular keywords, it's just a matter of obtaining good quality links. On the other hand if you are penalized (yet still in the index) only Google knows how long it will last, I seen websites penalized for years. Hope it's not your case, most probably it's just because your site is fairly new and goodluck with your site
Also ... we are all searching from different countries, so a loss in rankings from my side, might be different from what you see from your end. Anyway, apart from the daily ups and downs, nothing major here and I'm monitoring around 20 websites related to travel or seo.
I agree. Add quality content that others will link to while building your own backlinks. Your ranks will improve over time. To the OP, I have not noticed any issues with crawling or rankings bouncing around. But if something big is going on, it may not affect us all at the same time. Here's hoping everyone's ranks and crawl rates return!
I'm aware of the fact that technically there is no sandbox, I did a test few months back on 2 different domain this is how I started: Registered 1 new domain. Used 1, 2-3 year old domain. (Never exposed that domain to Google). Added some Unique Quality content on both domain's and build similar backlinks for both of them !! Results were Horrible, Quickly got rank for the new domain where as the old domain took time to rank for that keyword. The strange thing I noticed, Quickly the new domain got the rank quicker it lost and disappeared from SERP's. However, The old domain is still in top #10. So what u think that cud be instead of that SandBox Effect ?
Yup,you are right, Some where i found, SERP rankings goes down to 2 pages. But in general no major change.
Before Sandbox effect seems that all sites get up higher and then... they vanish. lol One of my clients site is nowhere to be seen since last G Update. It's not banned since i find it searching "site:..." but all the rankings gone. I mean, using "RankChecker" plugin (FF) all the results go: "-"... zero, nada, niente.
I notice minor changes on my keyword rankings but not necessarily major fluctuation! it seems fine as before....
