google sent me an email on june 8 saying that they detected many unnatural links to my website. Just 2 weeks after I read this notice, I saw a drastic decline in my rankings. So, I took action immediately to remove all of the unnatural links to my site. I deleted thousand of them in a week. Then, I submitted my site for reconsideration. On july 12, I received an email saying that manual spam action revoked. After the manual spam action revoked, I built tens of natural backlinks over the last 2 weeks. However, I haven't seen any of them in webmaster tools. Google haven't updated "links to my site" page since july 17. Isn't it weird? I believe that my site is in sandbox because google doesn't count my new backlinks, therefore, there is no improvement in my ranking for 2 weeks. do you think if a site can be sandboxed because of the effects of unnatural links penalty although it's 3 years old and all of its pages are indexed on google ?
Use software to check for your rankings- if you're still showing within the top 100 results then the reality is you probably haven't been sandboxed. If you're not showing within the top 100, report back here and I'll try to offer more assistance. WebDev
Sounds as though you've just taken a post Panda/Penguin hit. Focus on continuing to build quality content, and niche targeted backlinks - you'll recover but it will be a steady process. WebDev
Type your site into google and see if its in the top spot. Like www.wordunscrambler.com for me. And if it doesn't show its been sandboxed maybe.
I just saw something through my bluehost account the other day. It was a service from attracta.com and it checked for sandboxing of your website. Don't know how accurate it is, but it was crazy fast so i thought it was pretty cool.
