    Hi,

    I have a website; it's about 6 months old and is a PR2 site. I used to have ALL pages (50+) indexed in Google and was ranked highly for some keywords. But I've just checked now and the only page indexed in Google is the main page?

    Nothing on the site (content wise) has changed. What's happened to the rest of the pages?

    I thought the sandbox only applied to new sites.. not 6 month old established sites?

    Search Engine Position:
    MSN Search: 1
    Google: Not Found
    Yahoo!: Not Found
    AltaVista: Not Found

    Well that just confirms that this whole thing sucks :( How can I site go from being indexed everywhere to not being indexed at all?

    So if I am in the sandbox, how long before I get out? :rolleyes:

    it's not the sandbox. the sandbox has nothing to do with being indexed or not.

    If it's not the sandbox, then why are none of my pages no longer indexed?

    you have either been hit by a penality or filter, you don't have enough incoming links, or your site is in some datacenters but not others.

    did you create backlinks for your site ?
    try to submit your site to other site directory and check on your site, if there is any "noindex nofollow"

    find a PR tool...if your PR is zero or above, you are indexed...if it is n/a (and the site is 6 months old) then it has been de-indexed

    There is a lot you can read up on with regard to search engine optimisation, and this goes beyond just adding the url to google. I would recommend you do some research on this just to broaden your understanding on what things drive the search engine crawl process.

    Beyond that, I would be setting the site up in the Google Webmaster and the Bing Webmaster tools both of which have a verification process.
