Domain age is about 30 days. I started working on backlinks from Dec. 2nd, and after they got indexed it was doing well, getting some keyword from GSC and all. Even ranking 2nd on some keywords.
However, it all went downhill starting about 12 hours ago. in SERP the website is simply gone. No search result comes out from searching domain .com or domain com.
Is the website now in sandbox? Did I start working on backlinks too early? I admit I was in a hurry because my competitors were doing pretty well and their domain was about the same age.
So I thought it would be ok for me as well to building backlinks, both manually and using tools like gsa, rankerx for tier 2 and tier 3 backlinks.

Firstly, if you want your site to survive don't build those GSA blast kind of links to it, especially directly.

Your site and domain are both barely a month old. It is not unusual to have such ups and downs for brand new websites. In fact, most sites don't attract any form of organic traffic the very first few weeks.

Keep creating content targeting low competition keywords while building good quality backlinks and not those crap you initially planned.

GSA links have their use cases but certainly not as your tier 1 links.

I'm glad I didn't blast those links directly at my website.
So I guess I have to keep creating content while waiting for traffic.
Thank you for the reply.
 
What type of backlinks were you building? However, by the changes you mentioned, this looks like google penalty which is almost impossible to recover now.

Mostly Web 2.0 profiles and blogs, with some comments here and there.
I built Web 2.0 websites for Tier 1 linking to the money site manually, and used RankerX and GSA to build Tier 2 and Tier 3 links.
I think I didn't over do it because I only did like ~120 links for RankerX and ~400 links for GSA. Maybe I did. I don't know.
I did have a website under google penalty but that website is back on SERP so I think I can do it, but who knows it is all upto google.
 
The Google Sandbox is a theory that suggests new websites may be temporarily suppressed in search results until they prove their legitimacy and trustworthiness. While the existence of the Sandbox is not confirmed by Google, some people believe it might explain sudden drops in rankings for new websites.
 
30 days is too short of a period to gain any meaningful insights from stats.

Keep publishing, and gradually build links.
 
Your site will re calibrate multiple times throughout the process
1 month is nothing. Stop building bot links or you're just wasting time.
 
Ya'll gotta expand your time horizon, one day (or even one month) in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter
 
Guy's I am planning to buy RannkerX & GSA does my website rank or my subdomain please confirm?
 
is your website deindexed?
Does your URL pop up in search engine when you search this - site:yourdomain.com

If it doesn't that means your website is deindexed. Check your google search console.

if it shows that means your website can survive. wait for few days. keep on posting good quality content. I would suggest targeting non-competitive keywords. Micro niches.
