Has my site been sandboxed?

I recently started this site about 3 months ago and I realized that most of my posts were not even on the first 5 pages. One of my posts is on the 13th page on Google!

My site is http://www.anoobsguide.com/

Here is an example of one of my pages ranking at the very last

http://www.google.ca/search?q=how+to+get+stereo+mix&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&hs=uXv&start=120&sa=N

Have I been sandboxed and if so, how do I get rid of it

 

Every site is essentially sandboxed until it reaches age. You have to wait.

 

You are not in the sandbox!

 

How am I not in the sandbox?

 

Now I just checked your site again and found the following:

Some of your site had been duplicated on Digg at http://digg.com/linux_unix/How_to_recover_the_grub_menu_in_Ubuntu
So any of that text on your site has been sandboxed as Digg is a higher authority site.

Other text on your site has not been copied anywhere and comes up in searches.
http://www.google.com/search?source...+they+are+likely+to+be+in+a+corner+attacking+

So what you need to do is alter the text that has been duplicated so Google doesn't think it is the same text and all should be fine once it has been indexed again!

I hope that helps!

 

Michaelr, thank you for that. I didn't know that digg could have caused all of this :O

So would it be okay if I changed the title around and submitted it?

Edit: I found another article that I have written and it has the same exact title as the one for diggs:

http://www.google.ca/search?q=make+...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

So maybe it is sandboxing?
