How can I know my site is being sandboxed?

How can I know if my site being sandbox? The reason that Im asking this was since last 2 weeks, I have been constantly updating my site. Each time, I updated 4 pages at a time. Since then, my traffic was done, just wonder will my side get sandbox, if I do it? Any ideas? Thanks

 

I don't have the answer, but I like to share a similarity:

I have changed my template and updated all my site pages with this change. Next day, google dropped me out of page 1 to a place beyond page 20 (I never bothered to look further).
Odd thing is that since then (this all happened 2 weeks ago) Googles Webmaster Tools shows that I still rank within the first 10 for my targeted keywords. And this is daily updated.

Sandboxed? Who can explain the above.

 

Enter the search string in the domain name (without. Com. Net, etc.). If your site is not in the top ten, it's sandbox.

 

I don't believe that updating content will damage your serps - changing the keywords on a page could. When we moved town and changed from website design town a to "website design bury st edmunds" we had a penalty for 4 months that meant we couldn't rise above position 9 - then four months later the penalty was lifted and we were no 1 within a couple of weeks.

 

Updating your content (as long as it's unique) shouldn't hurt your rankings.

The fastest way out of the sandbox is to acquire HIGH quality links. That's the only way.

Probably, it is not useful. Whenever you will put in your domain name then all of the results will be of that particular domain.

 

Couldnt agree anymore with you

 

Good news; After exactly one month I got my google first page ranking back. So I must have had a punishment of Google for applying a too drastic change to my website.

 

That is correct. The opposite is the case. We should not just be lazy.

 

Plese help me about sandbox wht's it's mean

 

That is a bit strong, in a highly competitive niche, it doesn't mean you are sandboxed. There are literally thousands of make-money-online+other keywords out there, and only 10 spaces on the first page. SY

 

I suggest you to wait up two weeks to see the results of your changes. This is the way Google works.

 

The sandbox effect, Google temporarily reduces the page rank of new domains, placing them into what is referred to as its "sandbox", in an effort to counter the ways that search engine optimizers attempt to manipulate Google's page ranking by creating lots of inbound links to a new web site from other web sites that they own.

 

Is this what google sandbox definition?

 

In short, Google Sandbox means Google which is under testing phase. And its URL was www2.sandbox.google.com. But now its not available as no google in testing at that time.

The best way to check is to go to google and type in the basic name of your website and then the keyword. If it doesnt show up, then u are sandboxed.

 

If your keyword rankings all fall down, but when you site your website at google there are included(regardless of how much appear), it proves you site have not be published, maybe in the sandbox or there are some mistakes in you site

 

Get a google webmaster account. Then wait for some search to occur. Then you see the page on which your page comes up on search engine. For any particular keyword/search term webmaster tool will show on which page your site ranked. Then you will gradually see an increase in the page number, I mean say on first week it is in page number5, on second week, for that same search term if your page is listed in 6th page your site is then probably decreasing in serp and can be called as going to be in sandbox.
And if it is not at all showing up for any keywords, then it is definitely in sandbox.
So Sandbox is for a particular keyword.
You might rank first for a long term key word, but it will take time to get improved position for a short key word.
If you continue to build link and as Google believes you are a Genuine site(more backlinks) and you are here to stay(your page is online for quite some time), then you will see your same pages will slowly improve position and you will gradually move towards top. Then you will start coming out of sandbox.

 

If your site is sandboxed you may literally be bringing in no search traffic at all, and be ranking for nothing. The easiest way to tell is by checking to see if your site is indexed with google. The very easiest way is to type www.yoursite.com into a Google search. If it is indexed, it should almost always be the #1 result. The most proper way to tell is actually to use the site: operator. So go to Google and type site:www.yoursite.com. This should return the total number of pages your site has indexed in Google – which if you’ve built a structurally sound site, should be close to the total # of pages in your site. If a site:www.yoursite.com search returns no results, this probably means you’ve been sandboxed, as that would mean you literally have 0 pages indexed with Google. The only time this would not be the case would be if your site was still too new to be indexed by Google, however these days new sites can get discovered and indexed very quickly so this is most often not the case.
