    Hey, My site has been up for a few months now but yet Google cant find me even if i type in the actual domain name !!! I have listed the site with them once about a month and half ago and again a week or so ago, but still it seems I am stuck in this "sandbox" thing ? I was referred to this forum for help, can anyone out there tell me what is wrong or what I can do to fix this ?? Thanx in advance. The site url is: http://www.guitar-antics.com :confused:

    Most likely you are in the sandbox...and if so, be patient; there's isn't a cure. Hang tight and try to add links to your site so the google bot can find you. There is a lot of discussion regarding getting out of the sandbox but the solutions are more conjecture than anything else.

    Things that will help people find you once you're out of the sandbox:
    You need (in my opinion) more keyword rich text on the homepage, and throughout
    Within the text, keyword links to other pages
    A keyword rich title tag
    More keywords in the description
    Keywords in your navigation links, i.e. "music news" "guitar forum" etc.

    It is frustrating, the first site I ever set up is in the sandbox, even though it ranks top 5 for allinanchor, allintext etc etc etc.

    Will be nice when it is able to take its rightful place. :)

    Even if your website is in "Sandbox", don't stop promoting your website.

    DO the link builsing as usual and secure quality theme based links for your website. Also do directory submissions. Add fresh keyword rich contents on your website.

    After all these, hope your website come out of Sandbox soon.
