I've never had this before i seemed of slipped the net, my new blog has about 800-900+ results for the domain in google The blog is like 2 months old and gets 0 traffic from google, ive used no blackhat techniques and my site is predicted a pr5. Everything indexes fine, google cashes regularly. And i have lots of good content. The only thing i did is deny affiliate links in robots.txt because i cloaked them with redirect. now loads of sites do this and dont get penalized what could it beee? is google just waiting till it thinks my site is trusthworthy?
Google gives some strength to new domains then they get into sandbox for 6 months or so. So just wait some time and it will get back from sandbox.
"my site is predicted a pr5" Prediction tools are nothing but waste of time. My site was predicted to be PR7 few months ago and it is still PR0 after 3 PR updates. I suggest you keep building backlinks and add new content in your blog regularly, and hope fully google will rank your blog well in search results soon.
yep, never seen any evidence of this ( new site sandbox ) many blogs are becoming seen as junk ( because of the incestuous links structure ) -read - rate - do same . Get off of this interlinking structure ( if it is the case ) and you will do better in SEO ( not necessarily in traffic )
Such a bad idea for cloaking, your rankings might slipping and your site needs more strong backlinks.
