i am buying some low pr sites. do you have an tips of building off of it when my plan it to totally change the subject? one of them is a back therapy advice site and i want it for its age. my attempt at bypassing the google sandbox if possible.... not sure if what i am doing is pointless or not hope you get the idea.... trying to build up a network of sites for linking to help build up other new websites... let me know what you think or any ideas you can help me with... thanks, juls
I don't have experience in this, but I've heard that a sudden change to a site can trigger a filter of some sort similar to the 'sandbox'. It would depend on what 'sandbox' theory you believe though.
I guess this is kinda off the subject of the link, but what is the typical amount of time a site is "in the sandbox"??
isn't really any typical time. all depends on the site really. Some get out soon, some stay in for a year.
"trying to build up a network of sites for linking to help build up other new websites..." Yeah, this is why I'm looking too. I'm trying to buy sites with PR of atleast 5. Site must be old ( prior to 2000) and have many natural and good incoming links. I can stretch my budget for a good site.
Dont worry about the sandbox, Google uses many tactics to psych out the "instant gratification people". Also on the site building and linking structure>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Make sure you buy individual class c ip's for each site. there out there just as cheap and the shty ip's. You want google to see each site as a seperate entity. When you buy these sites, make then keyword relevant BEFORE you put your other links on them.DO NOT IMEDIATELY PUT YOUR LINKS ON THEM UNTIL GOOGLE HAS INDEXED THE NEW PAGES WITH NEW RELAVANCE. I personally wait 2 months after new page has been taken by google. I get pr4's out of pr5's with ONE LINK. if you have any other questions let me know, im always willing to give more info and work together as long as you are not in my industry.
PR is a function of inbound links from other sites or pages on your own site, not outbound links to other sites. Buying a low PR site and changing the topic of its content is not such a good approach IMO. The #1 thing that makes a URL rank for a particular keyword phrase is having links from other relevant sites with that targeted keyword phrase (or some slight variation) as the anchor text or link text. The only thing redirecting a URL about Topic A to a URL about Topic B (or simply replacing a page at a URL with a new page about a totally different topic) is going to do for you is possibly to pass Page Rank (PR) to the new URL... and we all know that PR means practically nothing as far as how a URL ranks... Its a tiny, tiny ranking factor. What is most important is the inbound link text (which greatly influences what you rank for), not so much the link itself (which inpacts PR, and has VERY little to do w/ how you rank for various kewyord phrases). IMO you are better off simply starting a new site about your topic. Get a new domain that has the primary keyword phrase you want to rank for in the name. Generate your own unique content - each page targetting a different keyword phrase) - and build backlinks from relevant pages on other sites to those new pages on your site w/ the targeted keyword phrase (or a slight variation) as the link text.
wow, you guys are great for sharing all this valuable info and tips. I very much appreciate your time. thanks again. michele
