Oh to be liked by Google

    I'm quite sad today - I'm no longer listed on Google!

    Launched the site in my signature over a month ago.
    Was very quickly listed in Google as #1 for site name - not a popular keyword.
    Looked today and I've vanished.

    Any ideas why please?
    Was registering with linkmarket.net but haven't used them at all.
    I've got a links page and registered to a few directorys.

    Do I need to worry about this? Thanks.

    No! Was the site squidlinks?! I love that site! I don't know what you did wrong... that site family-friendly and unique. Maybe Google is just temporarily messing up.

    Wow, when you search squidlinks on Google, this:

    forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=95780

    And this:

    forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=1073161

    Are above squidlinks.com, which I don't think is even on the front page. That's so weird!

    I completely forgot about the sandbox! That's what it probably is. KowDot, the sandbox is a time thing, the only thing you did to get in there was creating your site. In a few months, you should return to your original position (or maybe less, because squidlinks is not a competitive term).

    Truth, you may have ended up in the sandbox, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
