Just left the Sandbox

    Just left the sandbox with a website ;)

    Once I started, it went nice. Once I really started SEOing I hit the Sandbox. Been in it for ages (well maybe months :p, but at least many months) today I just got out and got even better rankings than I have in MSN. On big (even SEO) keywords.

    Thanks for all the advice, as I have like 20 number 1 spots in Google on various keywords, because people from DP helped me. I wont name names, as I am too afraid I might forget someone. But thanks to all of you.

    I will do my best to make it up to you all to spread the word and advice people on the forums. :)

    How many months were you in the sandbox? Out of curiosity.


    And, congrats off course. Wish I could join you. ;)

    I am still not 100% familiar with the sandbox, and still dont know how it works, but this domainname is relatively old. I just never really used or optimised it. As soon as I started to optimise it, I hit all search engines but got dropped from google (a few keywords that had no visitors).

    Just today, I checked after like a week not checking this domain (kinda became my black sheep in google because of no results) and saw several number one hits.

    I think it has been away from google for about.... 4-5 months? Is that possible? To be honest: I am not 100% sure it was the sandbox, as the domain is probably too old for that, its about 1,5 years old now. So I hit the sandbox after a year? Possible? I had like 5-6 backlinks in the first 12 months, and then because I started using the domain, about 1000 in a week after that and left Google. Today I came back with number one places although the site didnt change last month, the backlinks didnt change last month... Nothing really changed :p
