I've had two websites dodge the sandbox completly now. Domains bought on Week 1, Suit built and submitted during Week 2. Top #10 ranking in Week 3. Discuss!
One of my sites did that too, then week 4 bam, gone from the serps. That was 3 months ago, it's slowly climbing back.
I changed over from a free server to my own domain so it might have been a duplicate content penalty. Good luck.
Yeah tell us about week 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. It is common for new sites to show up in the Google Serps initially.. then they get spanked and sent to the sandbox.
I am currently at the end of Week 4 - Monday will be Week 5. I was expecting to get Sandboxed was suprised when I wasn't that's all.
Do share??? PM me the URL & KW's if you don't mind. I have a test going on now and your results might help me.
My facts and jokes site (shameless plug) got PR in the update and it shows at #40-something for "useless facts" not great mind you. But definitely not sandboxed.
