I have created site by 2 weeks ago. The site ranking had been climbed up from 2xx --> 1xx --> 65 with good allintitle (7) and allinanchor (9) and I think it's good. I continue add original and useful unique content to site regularly + build link organically by write unique content and submit to ezine and submit to directories. Its ranking has been climbed up until 3 days ago. My site lost it's ranking from 65 --> 138 --> 358 --> disappear. While allintitle and allinanchor dropped a much (allintitle 238 and allinanchor 197). I know about sandbox but from my own experience, if your site got in sandbox but your ranking for allintitle and allinanchor wouldn't changed. I always checked during this 3 days period and I found all of my pages still be indexed but ranking is down. What happened with my site? Is this a normally of sandbox or my site got penalized? If it's sandboxed why allintitle and allinanchor ranking are down also?
This really belongs in the sandbox thread. If you domain name is less than a year old, or does not have enough links. What is happening is that the age part of the alogo has kicked in and dropped your serps. In reality don't expect a n awful lot from a site before it is a year old, and even then a site that is three years old can often out perform it.
I agree with the sandbox suggestions. One of my websites went into the sandbox recently and it shows up nowhere on google - even when I type in the URL in the google search. The site is about 8 weeks old and for the first 4 weeks it was in the top 3 google results. Suddenly the site kept disappearing one day but appearing the next and now the site is nowhere. Ive read that it will take between 3-9 months for google to index your site again (depending on how competitive your keywords are). Google doesnt trust new websites and to reduce the amount of spam websites which crop up all the time, they will put you in the sandbox until your site can prove itself. Concentrate on writing more content and building more backlinks and you will be ok. Oh, and next time you create a website, consider buying an existing domain which has already been registered for a while. More expensive, but worth it.
Thanks for your sandbox clarification, Valley Thanks Hens00 for sharing your own experiences about sandbox. Hope your site emerge out of sandbox quickly. Thanks for suggestion about buy an old domain but most of them do not have name in my niche I would like to do.
Spend $15 dollars to find an expiring name as suggested, works a treat. I managed to outrank VW with 8 weeks until the inevitable happened....
