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
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.
i didnt really like sandbox mode but i would like them to add it just cause but i would rather have endless mode i would think thats a lot more fun
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
