    I have a web site which is apprx. 7 years old with same domain. I worked on building backlinks just a 2 months ago and ranked first i many keywords. But I guess İ did receive many backlinks and now my keywords are in 6 th page or 7,8. Is it possible to be sandboxed with 7 years old web site. If yes, how can I get out of it. I believe web has good content and rich unique informations
    Please help.

    If your site has had content and been indexed for years, it's not sandboxed. The sandbox is an aging filter that only applies to new sites.

    If it is sandboxed you wouldn't be seeing your site in normal search results.

    Not sure, you give very few information about your site, but it sounds to me like you triggered a filter for too much link building too fast.

    I observed many times that this kind of filters are taken away after about 3 months.

    while I am sure this is wildly contested. The sandbox is like unicorns and sasquatch. There is zero palpable evidence to support it or them. I still dig unicorns though.

    I am willing to go out on a limb and say there is no such thing. The myth is only further perpetuated by giving it its own forum.

    Sandbox only apply for new site ( some month ago ) with big backlink . If your site was 7 year old, don't worry about it.

    Did you do some link exchanges or linked to the wrong sites? That could be the reason why your site was sandboxed

    isn't just because of the competition?
