    Hello,

    I have a webmaster forum and is doing quite well atm. I have good no. of pages listed in msn and yahoo but in google, i have been droped out of listing it seems. I get good amounts of google bots spidering my site but why arent this showing in my serps.

    Website in question : Webmaster Forums

    Any help would be of much use. I used to have 700 pages listed in google at one point. Pr of site is also only 2 whereas the no. of backlinks it has it should have been pr4-5 atleast as of my other sites have.

    Regards,

    Admans.

    The 'sandbox' is a filter which acts to hold back newer sites and stop them appearing where you would expect for a competitive search term.

    As far as I know it will not affect your PR as this is purely to do with links.

    As your site is PR2 I don't expect it would show up very high for webmaster forum related search terms whether it was sandboxed or not.

    Sorry for the duplicate post (again). IE7 has a bug whereby if you lose the connection while submitting a form it will resubmit the data even if the operation had almost completed. In the case of this forum it means I keep duplicate posting.
