Looks like you are still in sandbox.

 

really?

after almost a year?

how casn i check that?

 

http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=allinanchor:second+hand+books&btnG=Search&meta=

You are in top10 for allinanchor results.

Sorry, Above one is Google India and here is the global one.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allinanchor:second+hand+books&btnG=Google+Search

You are #5

 

sorry for my idiocy - but what does that mean? and is there anything that i can do?

 

Honestly, I have no idea about the solution. I'm still learning. Sorry.

 

Does anyone else have any opinions or suggestions?

thanks

 

Think you're gonna need a lot of backlinks to rank well for that phrase. The top ranking site for second hand books has over 8,000 backlinks. You have around 60 (according to google)

 

i appreciate that its going to be hard to get to the top but i am talking top 1000.

surely position 1000 cant be better optimised (not wanting to come off in any way arrogant)

 

I remember reading somewhere in this forum about redirecting from a reputable subdomain to overcome sanbox. But I cannot find it where it was.

Basically this is how it was explained.

Sanbox have very little effect on subdomains of established sites. Thus if you have a age old site [ Not in sandbox , ofcourse ] create a subdomain and redirect it to your original domain. This way sandbox have minimal effect.

Sorry this is what I know now. Pehaps more experienced webmasters can continue.

does anyone have any way of checking if www. sharpsbooks.co.uk is indeed sandboxed at all ?

thanks

 

Hi Billybrag,

I recently discovered this tool:
http://www.seomoz.org/tools/sandbox-tool.php [ Its Randfish's sandbox detection tool ] might helpful for you in detail.

hth

 

thatnks for the link, it came out at 57%
so
50.1-60% Moderate Sandbox Factors may be at work - try additional terms

so im still a bit unsure.

any more advice will be greatly received
