Recovered from Penalty but...

    Hello,
    We recovered from Google's manual penalty in January 2014. Afterwards, we changed our site design, fixed our content, fixed java scripting, disavowed bad links, increased our social presence, tried to engage customers in blog content, etc. But we still couldn't get our domain name back on SERPs. (It wont show our site even on first page if I search "best vpn service" on Google.com)
    What should we do to bring our domain name back on the SERP?
    What About Sandbox? What we need to do to get out our domain name from sand box?

    Any comments or thoughts will be really appreciated

    Best.


    P.S: It was manual link penalty

    Remove unnatural and poor quality links, once links removed, then update fresh and high quality content. Then do off page activities slightly. Once these task is done website will rank.

    Hi Emmalopez. You might not be penalised or sandboxed just because you are not on the front page, maybe the competition just got stronger? If you can find your site somewhere in the first four pages or so then you have not been penalised or sandboxed. If your site is ranking on the first 4 pages, then you need basically just need links to get on the front page.

    Daniel is correct here and another thing made an impression here. You mentioned it was a manual penalty. Manual penalties are very straightforward in their nature. You get a notification in Webmaster Tools with the issue, you fix the issue, you resubmit the website. If all is ok the penalty will be cleared. Otherwize you will have to go back again and fix. Repeat until you remove the penalty.

    So there are two scenarios. You either haven't resubmitted the website/did not clear the penalty, or if its indeed cleared then its time to work on increasing your ranks, producing quality content, gaining relevant backlinks etc.

    Hope that helps ;)
