Should we care about being sandboxed?

    Every sand boxing experience that I've had it really didn't bother me because my site would disappear for a few days but when it resurfaced it would always resurface 10 or 20 pages closer to page 1.

    I had a site recently that was on page 3 of the search results. I did some submissions using Senuke and it got sandboxed, dissapeared and then showed back up on page 1 a few days later.

    No one is going to find your site that deep in the search results anyhow so why should we care about being sandboxed when it'll always pop back higher in the rankings anyhow?

    What do you think?

    Obviously, it is not a good thing for any sites being sandboxed. However, if you have met such a bad situation, don't worry about that. Just keep updating your site and waiting for a better future.

    Being in sandbox would generally mean there would be no or little trust between your sites and Google. You need to increasing your backlinks in a stable pace from niche relative sources, especially from those niche relative authority sources.

    Have a nice day,

    The webmasters crying their site has been sandboxed haven't worked hard enough to deserve the rankings. You need patience with G.

    Your site might be sandboxed for months and this means no or little traffic.

    You should care but not too much addicted. You just need to know when your website has been filtered but not give emphasize on it too much. SEO is a continuously process and consistency is needed. If you are focusing on sandbox and do nothing to promote website just because you afraid of it, you will lose.

    Google will only put you in the sandbox if it has concerns about your site - once its happy you are trustworthy you'll be let out of the box, but you can be penalised at anytime. I would make sure you build links in a long-term sustainable way and avoid the sandbox all together, but if you did get in it its just about patience.

    I think you should do your link building in a search engine fiendly manner always. If your site get sandbox for many times, it can be dangerous.
    Always be a little careful about Sandbox.

    I agree. You can't expect to have a great and trusted site without waiting some time (it could be one or two years).

    Yes, you need to care about it. If you are sandboxed then it is very hard to get your site back in Google.

    Sandboxing isn't a problem if you've never been indexed by the big G, but if it's a sandboxing after ranking- that's a different matter. You don't disappear off google's index for a matter of days. You may be dropped for a specific keyword, but the site wil still be indexed. Sandboxing usually means a complete drop from their rankings for a very long time. Organic search is Google's monopoly (should I say that?) with the big G swallowing 70% of all searches. The remainder is taken up by Yahoo, Bing and a few others. However, sandboxing really depends upon the aim of the website in question- is it organic search traffic driven or a marketing tool to present further information to clients that have found out about you another way?

    I personally don't care if its my site. Cos i don't build too fast backlinks on my money site. Also i have to take care if its my seo client's site.
    What i feel is when you create too fast backlinks means google finds that you are spamming and your site is given a different status as compared to normal new sites.

    You can do any spam activity to gain links but have in mind if someone complains to google you will be in big problems. But spamming is really not recommended if you are not knowing how to do it safely.
    I have friends who are getting links like 10k a month for three four domains then they forget it. each month three four sites. Then they get back to it in tow three months and start updating and creating a high pr links for it.Then they are out of the sandbox or whatever it is.
    Guess what it ranks like as normal 10k site will do. so there is nothing to worry about sandboxed if you can live without that site for four months.

    It is my personal experience,as you all have yours

    Then you were *not* sandboxed.

    You can not be sandboxed and appear on page 1.

    The sand box is typically the time it takes for a new site to start appearing in the SERPS for moderately competitive queries. This is roughly nine months, but there are of course ways to for Google to trust your site almost instantly. i.e. A homepage link from the New York Times will give your site some instant credibility. Of course there are other more realistic ways to lower a site's time in the sandbox. If you recently made changes to your site and it is now lower on the SERPS for more than a few weeks this is an entirely different issue and requires appropriate corrective measures based upon the situation; call it the penalty box for lack of a better phrase.

    And sometimes, Google sandbox is in keyword basis. you will get longer to get out of sandbox if your site targets some competitive keyword.
