Strange Sandbox

Hi I have a new directory Ask Directory the domain is 48 days old, so probably sandboxed and
i am already on middle of 4 page on google for the search term
“Niche Paid Directories”
Strangely I am not targeting this word on the link building anchor text, I am targeting “Ask Directory”, “paid directory”.
Cheers

 

That happens a lot, i can´t tell you why. You should check your backlinks with a backlink tool, and also your meta, this is the first that comes to my mind.
Hope this can help you in something.

Also: where did you find those nice photos?

 

The thumbshots? Some are from Alexa others I create manually.

 

yes, i think that happens to everyone, for example, im getting people coming to my site becuase of a keyword that i have an RSS feed for.

 

LOL, I have two sites ranked 32nd and 38th for that search term, never noticed that. I guess it's a totally not competitive term.

 

It's a keyword term that has a zero overture (no one searches for it) so it would not be subject to the sandbox. Highly competitive keywords are what the sandbox affects.

 

3º place for this word
"copyscape alternative"
but it links to page that as nothing to do with it
http://ask-dir.com/Health/Alternative-Medicine/

 

First place for this word "paid directory reviews"
to this page http://ask-dir.com/Directories/Paid/

 

the keyword which is appearing in the google must be in your content some where and competition on that keyword must be low thats why its appearing in google serp
