Hello BHW ppl, It's my first post here.. I've been reading and lurking around is this forum and it's filled with info for noobs... I personally thank all u guys for sharing your immense knowledge for newbies like me... it makes IM simpler! My question would be about google sandbox, how would you get to know if you're website/blog has been sandboxed or not.... What are the signs? I'm aksing this because, I've been doing quite a bit of backlinking for my newly built blog and don't seem to be getting ceredit for the backlinks...
there is an interesting article here which explains what youasked Have a look --> http://www.ehow.com/how_4875384_tell-website-google-sandbox.html
The signs are that when you look up your URL, it is no where to be found. Give it time. It is pretty common with new website from my experience. I have found that my new sites will index, then disappear, and then reappear again, and sometimes disappear again. After a week, sometimes more, it will eventually anchor itself. Just keep building quality backlinks, and it will eventually pay off.
