Avoiding Google sandbox when submitting to directories

    There are pretty good chances to appear in sandbox for a new site that has been submitted in to much directories.
    What is your opinion what should be the approximate quantity of directories for a new site to avoid the google penalties?

    Yes, i agree if the submission is done to 1000's of free directories.

    The chances are higher if titles and descriptions are same for all submissions.

    Niche submissions will work great. Higher no. of submissions should be done for 30-40 days.

    I dont think that actions contribute to it, if there is such a thing as the sandbox then it's only related to a site being brand new isn't it?

    In which case it's then just a waiting game.

    I would say 1 or 2 a week for a new site.

    Hello webmaster,
    i made good experience with 1 or 2 directories every day.
    You get problems with google sandbox if you use the same anchortext in your title and add to many directories in a short time.

    I think you should avoid dropping links into threads like that. I would class that as spam.

    Yep, it is mostly related to new sites. Still, for existing for a while sites you might get into some google filter if you submit in too many directories at once.

    I thought old sites hit with a penalty can be put in the "Google sandbox"?

    Directories take a lot of time to approve (and then get indexed), I wouldn't say you need to have a limit.

    If there is a limit then everyone will plug away ate submitting their closest competitor's site with same anchor text to 2000 directories per day and come up as number 1 as well!

    I don't think that there is any penalty with fast submissions - but neither is there any benefit of a technique that appears to get you 1000 links per day

    if submission is up to 20 - 30 free directories on daily basis then its fine with Google,
    because mostly free directories do take 4 - 6 weeks for approvals.
    Title text and different description for every directory will also provide very positive response to you from Google Bot.

    Although i agree to your opinion because the submissions always depend upon a certain number. However, you should submit such directories and sandbox according to a time period. Believe me it will help and increase traffic beside saving your site from banning..

    For me Google Sandbox = Google's treatment of new sites :)

    However, if your site has been "penalized"...in most cases, You must have done something wrong (onpage blackhat SEO or outbound links to questionable neighborhoods)...nothing much to do with the directories you've submitted to...

    Each directory approve at different speed, some approve fast other very slow.

    If you submit to 1000 directories in one day your link will not show up tomorrow on 1000 directories. It will show up very slowly, usually 4-5 links after 1 day, another 10 in 2 days and so on, sometimes directories will review your link after 4-5 months.

    Submission time has nothing to do with approval time and for google , i think only approval time matters.
