Yet another noob question here. I started my blog since May 2005. I monitor keyword ranking with digitalpoint tools. I've seen a fluctuations in Google SERPs for my targeted keywords. My keyword get #1 in MSN and <20 in Yahoo. But for Google, sometimes it got <20 and sometiems it is out of the range. Is my blog sandboxed? Or affected by BigDaddy? http://www.themp3players.com
Being indexed has nothing to do with so called 'sandboxes'. The sandbox is what people are calling the inability to rank well for competitive terms. Could it be that other sites are simply better optimised than yours, theplayers? If sometimes you rank < 20, that doesn't sound like some new site probationary period to me.
i got this rank in last 2 weeks. however, it fluctuated, sometimes it is out of the rank. Btw, I think it is getting out from sandbox
