    Hello there,
    Any one has experience about this please give some advices.

    I recently bought a very nice dropped domain. Unfortunately it was a domain which is in Google sandbox. I do some searches with long keywords and even with the domain name, can not see my domain in SERPs. Luckily the domain is still indexed by Google. What should I do? Drop it or continuously work on it?

    Thanks,

    Remove bad backlinks using Disavow tool and then setup a website on the domain with theme matching the domain and add 100% unique content and then build quality backlinks from niche websites using your abilities.

    What's the story on the sites backlinks? How are you sure it's not just a timing thing? How long have you been trying to get it to rank? Have you built new links to the site yet? What about the content of the site?

    Hi,
    backlinkwatch.com reports that I have no backlink! (so I have nothing to remove). I only have made several backlinks for my site. Maybe the previous owner had dropped it for 1 year so all backlinks lose. I 've been working on the site for 2 months and the content is 98% unique.

    well as you have bought a domain that is still in the Google Sandbox. So you need to keep a close look on the back links and all the quality factors that google considers while ranking the website. Getting out from it may take 6 months or more. In the mean time you can go forwards with building the quality back links (i.e. increase your do follow links but don't do in a hurry move slow and steadily. I am sure if you follow all the necessary guide lines you will move out of the sandbox) But for the time you need to do a lot of work in order to bounce out of the Sandbox.

    Thank you. I am Ok to work hard. Just I need to assure that if the site is still indexed=> there will be still a chance to get out of sandbox.
    Can you confirm this?
