How to avoid getting sandboxed

mia,

You are correct it was not always that way, but the Adsense TOS was changed to allow up to 3 blocks of ads two or three months ago.

 

That's great.. I guess I can re-activate all my includes on my sites that had it that way originally.. Thanx for the tip!

 

nice one.. thanks.. but How many back links i do ?
I have news website. I bookmark my all news in 2-3 bookmarking sites.
Can you tell me more bookmarking is bad ?
its effects on our site also...

 

This is a Complicated case..

 

Does site-wide means cross linking or inter linking? If true..I think it could be the reason..Not only getting sandboxed but you will even get banned by gogole..I've already experienced it...

 

I boosted one of my sites, by getting 1000 backlinks (took a bit of time but it worked), but i made sure that the content that backlinks came from, represented the same content on the website.

Because the main reason why people get sandboxed is because they get bad backlinks that have nothing to do with there site. Just make sure you get good backlinks and even links to good forums with the same content, PLEASE DO NOT BUY BACKLINKS - THEY WILL GET YOU SANDBOXED FOR SURE, trust me i know..........

 

All the websites that are newly created will be definitely get sandboxed... It takes 3 - 6 months to get out of that sandbox...

 

I don't think it has anything to do with getting irrelevant backlinks good or bad. It's Google's way of normalising the ranking system in not seeing newer sites rank too high too soon. Most new sites less than 6 months are known to get sandboxed now and then.

 

fair point. there any many ideas out there that would suggest google will sandbox your website.

 

I think the sandbox is very much there but it has some complex algorithm or something which decides a site's freshness and popularity. Ultimately it comes down to quality content (language does matter, try Chinese for a change! no kidding!)

 

I have linked sitewide to new sites I've created and I didn't seem to get that penalty for the new sites. Is it a common experience?

 

You can optimize your site for the long-tail keyword - Just add usefull content all time, Preferably user content such as with well optimized forums and you can get well established traffic without promoting the main keywords aggresively till your site is at least 6 month old.

 

ah!! it just happens.. too much of eagerness and greed leads you here ...

No issues though! just wait for close to 3 months and you should be back to form!!

 

It is a way of finding out which sites rank well for a particular keyword phrase through inbound links.

 

Hi,
Thanx for this advise

 

Here's how to avoid the sandbox on a new domain:

Rule No: 1. Ensure basic SEO

- Unique title tags across all page
- Unique description tags on all pages (or use none)
- Ensure no broken links / 404 error pages

Rule No: 2. Avoid the mass mindset

- Don't submit your site to 1000's of article directories
- Don't submit your site to 1000's of social bookmarking sites
- Don't submit build links with spun content
- Don't syndicate your site with RSS to 100's of directories

Rule No: 3. Link Building Guidelines

- Ensure link diversity
- Ensure sufficient anchor text rotation
- Avoid buying or selling links for SEO manipulation
- Make sure to deeplink your long tail pages too not just your homepage
- Avoid sitewide links with the same anchor text

Rule No: 3. Design / Content Guidelines

- Ensure you use 100% unique content on your site
- Don't have a double adsense block at the top of your site
- Don't build MFA (Made for adsense) sites that offer no additional value

Important: Once you have authority (TrustRank) in your domain, you can get away with all the above, just not on a new site.
