He should wait for a few more weeks or days. I have never had a site not been slapped at least twice arrrrggg the wait...
Ok. I'm back again I confirm that sandbox is a myth. My traffic is still increasing.... and all that in high competition niche... 90% don't know what to do to get traffic and you think that it's sandbox... you may think or cry, or you may do something, it is your choice
sandbox is obviously real I have had sites that get indexed by google but I don't get any good serps which means that I'm not banned just sandboxed.
Sandbox is not MYTH buddy. I have few sites which got sandboxed for a few months, then back to normal, sometime got sandboxed again.
We are all happy for you. Have you made any money ? How come we have never seen the URL of this famous site that has beaten all the odds?
At beginning of this thread someone told that after 15 days my traffic will down. I waited and it's still increasing. And do not name me the idiot - it's all your envy. loser...
Yup, it's a myth, just like duplicate content penalty So, if you're website is that good, go and copy thousands of them and enjoy in more traffic
All right dude. You are the master SEO. Over 800 threads on this forum about the Google Sandbox, and experienced webmasters with multiple sites (I have 50 myself) on this forum engaged in discussion about the sandbox and you have found a way to beat the system. There are only 3 ways that you think that you have done something here: 1) You have a domain that matches the search term exactly...(I have a few of those and never saw the sandbox for more than a few days, big deal..too easy) 2) Or you are going after a key phrase all by yourself, that no one searches for, so you have it all to yourself (No big feat there either) 3) it was an existing domain with content, or was registered by someone else and dropped before you purchased it. IOW, someone else already went through the sand box with it. There is no way that a new site, targeting a competitive niche, comes out of the box and beats all the other sites that have been optimizing for it for years. Absolutely none, and without knowing what the site is, or the key phrase or term that you claim you have beaten the sandbox for this whole thread means nothing...you may as well start a thread saying "I just saw a UFO, but I don't have any proof or photos" Same thing. Which is why you don't post threads boasting about accomplishments if you are not willing to prove what you are saying is true. There is no way for us to know, so we will all just agree with you and let you have your moment. If you want a pat on the back..PROVE IT !
Totally agree and I know how it feels coz I have been through it. And ofcourse when you claim something you must show proof if you are not a mentally challenged guy.
& if it's not a myth, in all the time of asking, how come no-ones ever managed to show me a site that is genuinely "sand-boxed" ? all i ever see are sites that dont rank well and people looking for excuses. i'll ask again, can someone show me a currently sandboxed site? there used to be a filter like this, its not there anymore and we launched more than 50 sites last year. show me a sandboxed site and I'll show you a site we launched straight into top 5 positions in competitive SEO based terms, above ours and other powerful SEO sites, and that stayed there and got stronger.
There is a big difference between the sandbox and a poor ranking site. The sandbox is a myth. All new sites get an initial boost in the rankings when google first find them; after google has had some time to look at and do some analysis on the site, it then ranks more naturally where it should -- this is what you are describing and its NOT the sandbox.
How do you know that this is due to the sandbox and is just not a simple fluctuation in rankings that most sites go through. Can I ask a question of those who believe it exists: Why is it that only those posting here at DP believe in it? Why at almost every other SEO forum has the concept of the sandbox been debunked? Why is it that every professional SEO (at least the ones I have seen comment on this) do not believe in the sandbox?
now those are also good questions. but i still prefer "can anyone actually show me a live one" ? its like the yeti, plenty of reports, no actual monkeys. (except some of you lot obviously )
