Hi guys, My site has gone through the following stages in google: - Not indexed at all (new site). - Indexed but pr 0 (for 2 months) and number 103 in the results. - Pr 3 on Google’s toolbar but number 85 in the results. in msn I am number 2 for my target keywords and number 9 in yahoo. so, my content is competitive and recognised by other engines. is this what is called sandbox (I came across that term in multiple places) or it is my content? I use flash in my site. should I remove it? if yes, why it doesn't affect msn and yahoo??
Just because you're in the search engines doesn't mean anything about the quality of your content. Focus on your SEO tacitics and you'll do just fine. It just takes time and hard work.
To be honest a Flash website is not going to help your google rankings but also if you take the correct procedures it can also be a beneficiary. I would suggest you create some kind of folder, for exmple /html/ and create an html friendly section that you have spenty of spiderable content as well as sending your links to that location.
I've managed to get my site (from signature) from pr0 to pr4 in a month just by following the "rules" from the articles found on DP forum... Also submited site on every directory I've found... Just take it easy and the results will come...
PR has nothing to do with site rankings. Anyways, it is always harder to get decent rankings in Google and pretty easy for MSN and Yahoo - you just need lots of links for these
