About 6 months ago, I had a blog running that made me some great income, after a while it started to slow down in traffic, I looked at all of the settings and my blog wasn't on Google anymore and it was before. I talked to Google but I didn't get a response. I talked to some SEO experts and they said I had been sandboxed but I didn't do anything wrong. What tells Google that im doing something wrong? What could I have done that made them sandbox me?
Is your blog new? G tends to sandbox new sites/blogs. I'm assuming you weren't doing any KW stuffing or any other blackhatting... Keep backlinking and putting new material on your blog - it will pop back up there again.
You have to continue building quality back links to stay high in the ranks, you might still be on google but not in the top 10 pages try doing an advanced search to see 100 at a time. This way you can see if you are still in the top 1000
If you site put on sand box, i think you must request reconsideration on google webmaster tool. It's easy, don't worry...your site will back on google search. Just want to share...thanks.
If you are a blog owner than you have to know this 3 things. 1. Update posts on daily basis. 2. Marketing of your blog in another domain with same niche. 3. Social book marking of quality posts.
Hmm I understand 1 and 3 but im foggy on #2. Are u talking about backlinking to another blog in the same niche? Also. what if theres a forum about my niche, but its a No-follow, should I still get backlinks from there?
