Google's Giant Sandbox

good point tradefor. I think google doesn't like to reveal much in order to keep people from abusing the system. Once you tell everyone exactly how things are done, people will figure out ways to get around it.

But I agree. I think the sandboxing of backlinks is ridiculous. Let's go back to yahoo.

 

Or to MSN. They are throwing tons of cash into the search engine business. I think their results are a little more relavent as well.

 

I'm sandboxed because of my own mistake. I didn't check my linkexchange partners regulary. Some changed content - one even became a porn site. Until this happened I was doing well with google traffic and was in top position with my keywords. In yahoo and MSN I'm still on the first pages.
So better watch your link exchange programs and sites. I changed my link exchange strategy completely. I'll concentrate more on content again, because this was it what put me on the top.

 

with enough referalls link vault will tell you who you are linking to, another good idea is to run a link checking bot through your site, (with the coop the links are gonna be changing so this isnt quite as affective) I use Xenu to check links.

 

My site has been up for 2 1/2 weeks. MSN, Yahoo, Google all have only main page of the site.

I thought MSN, Yahoo would be indexing the site. What is the average wait time for Yahoo, MSN to begin indexing whole site ?

It depends. Especially MSN can take a very long time... (if ever)

 

I have noticed correlation between sand and advertising google on the right
If it is not enough advertising or not that sand does not touch even sites by high-frequency inquiries
