Do you think I got sandboxed?

    Hi guys, this is what happened. I told my programmer to change the url structure from www.blabla.com/543/32.html to www.blabla.com/category/page.html . Now the problem is my programmer was lazy and the older link is still working and leads to my site. Do you think Google sandboxed me because of two links to one page? I dropped my main keyword rank from page 2 to non existant.

    Thanks

    Its just because you change the url but after some time it will again in searching.

    2 links to one page does not matter....you can have 50 links.

    Tell your programmer to set a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new URL

    Keep making links for your sites it will get back into results within sort period of time. If not then it may take 2-3 weeks.

    I don't think your site got sandboxed. Its going to get back to its normal rank after a while and keep doing your seo.

    If your programmer has created a new url for an existing page, then it is completely wrong and this may definitely cause sandbox for your website. It was required to perform url rewriting by the programmer.

    It may take some time to get your site back into Google! Google will take some time to index it!

    I think you should choose one link structure and wait until google indexes the new one. Or you can build some PR backlinks to get the new links indexed better. But nothing terrible happened - the site will surely get back
