Hello; Can you please tell how it is to be understood whether a site is sandboxed or not? What are the signs?
Thanks for this, I seem to be OK but one of sites dropped from 4 out of index, been told may be sandbox or cannonical issue? any idea how to tell the difference? I'm going around in circles here. cheers, Dave
Of the 173 urls sent in the sitemap, 62 are indexed so far and it has been over a year since I started the website. Am I sandboxed? (It seems I am, thinking of the list DoA kindly presented) What do you think?
From my point 1> If your website is old and doesnt has any major changes into it. 2> If you tries to look for the exact titles or keywords of your website within search engines and you dont find the results which can shows your website 3> If your site was having some rankings and got dropped 4> Your website latest cache still shows the old date, which can be of many months old. 5> If you are trying to create backlinks for your website and are using certain keywords which is relevant to your website and the backlinks are from good PR site and still working for long time on particular keyword and you are no where on SERPS.. If you do find these reasons then think your site is in sandbox.. Its not that it wont do well again, but you has to keep on working with its backlinks and doing some proper changes within content.
