My site was indexed by google, I escaped the sandbox, right?

I checked my blog on Google webmaster and it said that my site had been indexed, does that mean no more sandbox threat? Or Am I wrong?

Thanks

Ruben

 

check with site: url command

 

I don't understand what you mean, url command?

Thanks

he means goto google and type in

site:www.yourdomain.com

although this doesnt mean you've escaped the sandbox! You can get indexed for a few weeks before you get sandboxed

 

go to google and type:

site:mysite.url

Code (markup):

If you see links to ur site then ur not in the sandbox...

 

your website was not in sandbox, it is not cached by Google only

 

no ... even sites which are in sandbox get indexed but dont get ranked in any ways

 

indexing doesn't have anything to do with sandboxing. your site may get indexed and might even have PR on the first update, but if sandboxed, it will just not show up on ranking when searched for your targetted keywords

 

Is there a way to know if you're sandboxed?

thanks

A sandboxed site may be indexed well in Google, but will not rank well in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) for your major keywords.

 

I've been able to used social bookmarking to give Google a little nudge, none of my sites are sandboxed. I've even managed to get a site to rank on page 1 with 24 hrs of going live. For some reason Google likes Stumbleupon a lot.

 

Wow that's impressive, I bet you have a really good keyword. Do you only use stumbleupon? or what else do you use?

Thanks

You can be sandboxed awhile after your site gets indexed form my understanding. I have encountered many people who have said that it has happened to their sites months after starting them and after being on the first page of SERPz

 

So I guess it's good to always work on traffic building. Don't just count on being on the first page and sit back.

Good advise

Ruben

 

Trust me guys...I got sandboxed but my site and internal pages (I was getting most of my traffic through the internal pages) were all indexed - but dropped out of site.

In other words - when I did site:www.mydomain.com - my index page and internal pages all showed up - but they dropped in rank big time.
