I am running a blog with daily 3-4 updates with quality post from the past 25 days, but still I am not getting any organic search traffic from Google. Why so ? Is my blog still in sandbox, how much time will it take to get search traffic.
have you add meta tag in your blog post and home page of your blogger, if not then first you should add meta tag on your blog post after that your blog will be searchable for google at particular keywords
I am using Wordpress with thesis theme, I have already added the meta tags and submitted the site to Google Webmaster tools.
Umm.. the info that you have provided is not just enough for determining about google sandbox. I would recommend some SEO, just a little bit, to see if your site improves. One other way would be google adwords. Set ur ppc value to $0.02 and if you place right ads, you might be getting 2x of what you spend, plus traffic too. And ppc @ $0.02 does get you clicks, irrespective of what google's adwords tool suggests.I get them at the same rate where the avg ppc is above $1.
sandbox is really random. there is no set time for how long until you get out of sandbox. you just have to keep updating your website and try to get a link of your site on other websites to start moving your rank higher. might make the process a little faster at least
It doesn't seem as if you've been sandboxed, because in my own experience, you start to get a few searches first, then you get sandboxed. I would suggest doing some seo, link building etc. Can i ask, are you writing your revies on keywords? If not, this may be the problem.
Probably you're not sandboxed if you have quality content. It's more likely you do not have sufficient links to get into the SERPs. If you do not have links, people cannot discover you, but you will not rank either in the SERPs - and if you are on page 20, you're as good as invisible. In any case, 25 days is quite short to rank well, you need to continue posting to get significant traffic... Usually you get sandboxed when as a new site you top the SERPs... Google gets then suspicious and sandboxes you. But if you're nowhere, then it's unlikely that Google even bothers to sandbox you, the sandbox is reserved for potential spammy sites that rank extremely fast even though they are new. Getting out of the sandbox may take some time, assuming you get there. Conventional wisdom states 9 months, but I've been sandboxed myself a few times and with quality content and "serious" links (edu or gov sites) you can get out in a hurry, perhaps in just a few weeks. It also depends which keywords you target, very competitive keywords are likely to take longer...
There is not a certain time frame which I can mention here. It depends on the competition your website or Blog have. The second thing is that you need not to update your Blog 3-4 times a day. Just add a quality post daily and the post should be enriched with catchy words.
Well it is difficult to say that how long a website stay in the Google sandbox, It depend on the types of keywords, good quality content and quality back link. it will be completing for in the real SERPS It can be up to 6-8 months and the only way to get out of the sandbox is to wait. If your website has nothing any onpage and off page issues then very often your website come back from sandbox
first set the meta tag on your blog and wait for google cache ...noe check the rank the keywords ....if your rank is good and still you are not getting visit then it may be possible your blog is in Sand Box..other wise not...
You need to build your link on newspaper sites so that its easy to get out of sandbox. Search engine have chain rule and when someone blocks the chain cycle they will be sandbox. Now Only you have to link your sandbox's site to corporate newspaper sites where alot of content.
Their is no fix time that when the website will be out of sandox as it become old and start getting acklinks it will be out of sandbox.
Thanks guys for sharing this useful point of view.I read all of your posts .I get many things in here.So Please share more an more in here .
dont know exactly but basically i think sandbox effect is for new websites only those are bought from google to exchange links or to sell high pr links??? but for limited period of time. 3- 6 months
If your new site generates traffic too quickly or gets too many links too fast...you will be sandboxed.
yes as your site starts to get backlinks and your site has become bit older then it will be taken out of sandbox. If your site is totally new and if it get lots of link at sudden then your site will be in sandbox for longer period of time.
simply wait. The sandbox filter is not a permanent filter and is only intended to reduce search engine spam. It is not intended to hold people back from succeeding. So eventually, if you continue to build your site as it should be built, you will leave the sandbox and join the other established websites.
try ping,submit in digg.com,stumbled upon etc and you will get indexed in 24 hours.Once you get indexed in google build quality links you will see organic traffic.
