I thought one of my websites was Sandboxed at first because my SERP was dropping. Then I noticed indexed pages in my Google Webtools started dropping. Sadly, when I do a site:<mysite.com> in Google only 1 page of the 260+ pages show up. The site is an autoblog site using content posted from WPRobot's youtube plugin. There are some unique pages on the site and even those are not showing up. I was using the WPUnique plugin which was supposed make my content unique but who knows if that is even working. How does one dig themselves out of such a mess? I started building backlinks using scrapebox and other people's services once I noticed my pages getting dropped and SERPs falling. None of this seemed to help. What does one do, delete the site? Start over? Sell the website or domain? Let time run it's course?
search this on google site:yoursitename.com. You will see all of your indexed pages. Avoid using same patterns for link building as google is really tracking it. Put some unique content on the pages and keep building the links slowly.
To get out of sandbox you basically need to make radical changes to your site. Try to change keywords, meta data or text. Make your site seem different when bots crawl it. Some people have gotten their sites from 6month sandboxes out by making the site seem of other content.
start building quality backlinks then after 3-6 months you will get out and your site will be more authoritive then
I have a auto news blog , get content from other site, Does anyone know will google put my site in sandbox , and if they will , how can I avoid it happen ?
This is usually the result of some bad link building practices you might have done recently. Just undo them and don't continue them in the future. Start link building a fresh and make sure that the content on your site is yours only and not copied from another site. Also make sure that another site is not copying your content as it will be bad for both of you. Good luck
1. buy a new domain 2. wild card 301 old site to new domain 3. link build to new domain vola you're out of the sandbox and you still got your link juice
If its a new site, perhaps its sandboxed or perhaps its just having google dance. If many of the pages aren't indexed, have you tried submitting sitemap to G webmasters tool?
Google don't like autoblogs and duplicate content. try removing all the duplicate content, buy some backlinks, and wait
What you need to do is continue to build 1-2 links per day from legitimate sources. Social bookmarking, article posting, forum posts, etc will all help you.
