Your Google Sandox Experience?

I agree with Sophie but in addition its Caffeine now, making search results live. Sandbox gone old.

 

it made me cry

 

sandboxing doesnt really exist. Look it up on google there is a good article about what "sandboxing" really is

 

I was in a sandbox for month or two. It's a normal thing for new websites. Cut back on SEO a bit while in and be patient.

 

I wondered what happened to my site. When I first put it up it was number8. Now I can't find it. So I guess it was sand boxed.

I have around 50 websites and all of them were sandboxed all at once. most of these sites were generating a bit of money through adsense, although had useful information on each. some were sites that have nothing to do with adsense, and are updated weekly with good, fresh content. all sites have been down for around 2 months with no sign of getting any better. now i make approximately 0.00 in revenue each day. as you can imagine, i am very pleased with this!!

 

Its google efforts to hault spammer website hostings to gain sudden success, but as per my experience the web website hostings those getting a huge amount of links and coverage from trusted website hostings like BBC News, washington posts, telegraph or .gov website hostings does not stay longer in sandbox, even interestingly .org and .edu website hostings does not have that much waiting periods compare to other website hostings.

 

Yeah, me too. Just got sandboxed two days ago
Was on the first page in 7th place, and boom - now I'm on 312

 

Yep, me too. On page 1, #4 then pushed back to #57. Ugh

 

I just ended up putting one of my sites in, big time pain in the ass. Built too many links too fast (got into the profile linking and hit it with about 100 in a day) I had some page 1 rankings and now its gone, nowhere to be found Was just starting to see a little revenue from it too, hopefully it won't be too long.

 

I have to share my experience..

I've been getting hit lately by google. One of my sites, a year old was taken off the front page for two weeks, it came back for a day, then removed again a couple days later. It's been doing that fora few weeks now.

Another two sites of mine, one a few months old and another just under a month old have been removed from search pages for a few days, then returned for one evening then get knocked off again for a few days. The thing is, i build about 1 to two links a day for them, some are paid, some are articles, blog comments, profile pages, ect.

I don't understand what i should do at this point, only my well-established sites are holding position, over 2 years old.

 

its not fun, and lasts for over a month generally, however, when you do bounce back, it's usually stronger than before!

 

My website is indexed in sand box

 

Well I dont believe that google sandbox exists. My blog started getting organic traffic just 2 days after it was launched. Although I still dont rank high for top keywords, traffic is certainly pouring in. All my pages are well seo optimized & bring in hundreds of visitors a day ( my blog is 1.5 monhs old ) and I dont even have enough backlinks. 43 or so may be !

 

Wow, very difficult subject with so many viewpoints and really no facts presented from a lot of people.

I have a website that is 12 months old and is ranked in the top 5 on Yahoo and Bing for dozens of highly-sought after keywords. There are ZERO top 50 rankings in Google for these same keywords. I have done light link-building, good content development, slow and steady ramping-up, $$thousands of Google Adwords spend and nothing yet. The competition is so strong for my keywords that I assume it will be a full year in the sandbox (10 months right now) or longer before I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

WHY THE GOOGLE SANDBOX?
1) Anti-Spam & Anti-Bully Website Tool. Google can control new websites that are started by SEO experts who just happen to create junk sites that don't really offer much to the end user. Google can also control huge websites that want to spin-off and start something new, just by creating links from their existing websites. They're trying to make certain that they themselves stay relevant as Facebook is presenting the universe with a new way to comsume online content.

2) Google Adwords. I know that I'm spending upwards of $5,000 per month to deliver website traffic to a set of sites created last year. I would either drop this down or eliminate it depending on how well I do organically. Google can NOT lose this money, they depend on it so they had to create the "SANDBOX" (they call it something else internally - I'll ask my Google contacts to see if they'll spill the beans) just to keep their empire going.

RANKING WITH GOOGLE IS LIKE FOOTBALL
The owner "owns" the team, but he needs players, spectators, vendors, buyers, etc. The players "work" for the owner, but they are really free agents, that they look after their own interests, while playing the game. They need to perform, and they more they can, the more publicity they get and the higher their value rises. Even players that aren't all that great on the field, but can get a lot of attention off the field, are worth something to the owner.

Google "owns" the search game, but they need website content, visitors, strategic alliances, etc. The websites "work" for Google, but they are reallty free agents in that they look after their own interests, while playing the game. They need to have good content, good links, and they more they can, the most visitors they get and the higher their PR rises. Even websites that are boring or niche site in general, but can get a lot of pageviews, visitors and links, are worth something to Google.

 

My experience tells me that if I carry out link building in the right way, I can appear on page one for moderately competitive keywords in week 3-4. As soon as I start a website, my practices enable me to get it indexed within the next 5-6 hours. And typically in the first week, I am somewhere on pages 5-6 of the search results.

 

I had posted a message that the google sandbox doesn't exist. Now I can surely say it does. My blog which is now 3 months old and was getting 200 organic visits a day has been sandboxed a couple of days before and immediately the search traffic dropped to one or two visits a day. I hope to get out of it soon !!

 

Interesting... I guess I've been lucky - all sites I've published so far get indexed within 24 hours.

 

I have noticed that wordpress blogs get out of the sanbox must faster than other sites. Did anyone get the same experience?

 

My blog(at signature with anchor "bisnis online") experience google sandbox so many times..ALmost once in 3 months ..I don't know why..Google sandbox is "big mystery" for me..I've already 1 years learn SEO but i couldn't do anything to get out from sandbox fast..
