Sandbox Proof! (or at least I think so!!)

I created a small blog a week ago, with very competitive keywords. My blog is: www.online-money-fast.info
Now, I've linked my blog to different sites of mine (+ many others). For example just google:
cache:www.qyfyre.com
On the very bottom of the page you will see a link to www.online-money-fast.info that is crawled by Google, as it appears in Google's cache version of my page. Now, try to google:
link:Online-money-fast.info
No results!! Even though google has crawled my link, still doesn't count it!!!And btw, I have linked to my blog from many sites!!!
What do you think?

 

Its definitely in the sandbox and could be because of duplicate content on this site http://www.how-to-make-money-on-line.com/link-building-through-forums-again-valuable/

 

It's just a copied article, not a big deal, right? Btw I've stated the source :S

 

This is proof of nothing, of course a link: command shows nothing you site is only a week old and Google updates the link: data every 3 months on average.

 

maybe google is dancing at the moment. Maybe you had a server problem when the bot tried to follow the link. Maybe any one of a number of reasons. maybe your duplicate content has caused issues.

 

Maybe the OP has no clue what he's talking about more like it.

 

Google never shows all the links, they usually show a small part of none.

 

Google only shows links that are relevent of high quality or associated with the website when doing the link command

 

You may check your links from yahoo as google never shows all link information....google dance is going o these days hence this may even be a problem. For better results use unique content with proper density of keywords.

 

I just want to save you some time here. There is no way you're going to make any money with that site the way you're going. The keyword you are targeting "make online money fast" doesn't even get searched. .info domains don't do that well for big money terms in google. Plus if you do decide to go for bigger terms, you're going to be in the google sandbox anyway. If you really want to make some money, then get a .com domain, and optimize it. Prepare to be in the Google Sandbox for 6-8 months. your links aren't good links. they're all sitewide with no pagerank on them. If you really want to be successful online, find out how to get the good links and research your keywords better. Being first for a term that no one searches isn't going to make you any money.

 

Google doesn't want duplicate content so I suggest getting some original material for your blog!

 

Are you saying the .info domains do not have a good chance in SEO rankings with google. What about .net domains are they as good as .com domains?

 

.info domains are known for spam domains. google treats them differently from the start. you'll get trusted with a .com domain before you get trusted with a .info domain. .net's are like .com but they aren't as good because human visitors will choose to visit a .com before they visit a .net

 

Incorrect. Google does not discriminate based on extension. I have .info sites which rank very well on Google. The content and SEO is what is important, not the extension. If the .info extension makes sense for the business model, then get it you will not be at a disadvantage if you don't get the .com

 

I really doubt you rank well for competitive terms with a .info domain. Until you prove me wrong, I'm sticking with my answer. I know for sure that google treats .info domains differently than .com domains from the start. It doesn't really matter anyway. If a person wants to start a real profitable business, it's bad to buy a .info domain.

 

Completely agree with you dcristo!

 

I really don't have to prove anything to you buddy. All I know is I have .info sites which make very good money. If you actually took the time to do some research, instead of spreading misinformation around on a forum, you would know there are many good ranking .info sites. Check out the result for "spain" but thats not very competitive though is it?

 

think what you like. that doesn't prove my point from the beginning anyway. i was claiming that new .info domains are getting treated differently than .com's these days. an 8 year old spain.info wasn't made in the spam era.

your 12,000 posts don't really scare me. don't claim that my information is wrong just because you don't know about it.

 

I'm not bullying you. Just trying to stop misinformation.

Here is another one... prchecker.info registered in 2004. Not hugely competitive but ranking above .com

What benefit does Google have to penalize genuine .info sites?

The reason there aren't many .info sites ranking well in the serps is because its a newer extension, and as you may know, established sites get a boost in the serps.

With regard to that article, ALL new sites get treated as spam, regardless of extension (sandbox).

On May 23rd when some .info sites got deindexed, I did notice lower traffic levels, but it was just a glitch, and they went back to normal in a day or two.

That article really proves nothing.
