Three Months in the SandBox - WHAT SHOULD I DO???

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have another thread running but I am trying to get this site out of the sandbox with a few things. One of them is installing google analytics to show that I get traffic without Google.

The other is 600 no follow back links from a single PR7 domain with non keyword anchor text. Hopefully, something should get me out soon.

Just continue to do SEO. Especially high PR backlink and your site will be back soon.

It is, yeah, but I'd hit it with about 100,000 profile backlinks using xRumer, plus directory submissions, blog comments, forum spamming, and a ton of other shit. It came back for a few days every few months, before gaining a firm position, and ranks 1st page now for any page I make, granted it's related to its nitch.

Thankfully I had other websites, though. I didn't read the whole thread - as I can't be bothered, but has your site came back?

Hi there people

One of my sites got hit with the sandbox three months ago. It is a fairly white hat site and I tried to experiment with a link wheel with about 20 links or so all linking to each other. After I did this, I went from the bottom of the first page to the top 3 for almost every keyword. For a day that is. Please don't hit the thread with comments that say that 20 back links will never sandbox a site. I would appreciate help with the sandbox instead.

Then the sandbox came and it has been three months. I have added content and backlinks to it regularly but there has been no effect.

My site is indexed and ranking in places like 600 for all keywords. It gets crawled every 7-10 days as well, before, it used to be a crawl every 2 days.


What should I do. Should I remove the link wheel that I created. Should I submit a google reconsideration request (Is there even such a thing).

Any advice would be appreciated.

"Should I remove the link wheel that I created." seems like you already have your answer. what good is a linkwheel thats in the sandbox?

That's the number of your pages indexed in google!
 
my website in sandbox almost one year. now it come back and stronger than before.
don't remove linkwhee.
just wait:D
 
Did changed the titles, renew some tags, even change permalinks, resubmit the sitemap.
 
i have told you before to start building your link and remove the link wheel or google will penalize you.. sandbox = where Google evaluate your ranking and viewing your site..
 
add videos,images,
put a link from one of your pages to a site ranking top 5 in your niche.
then build some backlinks.
 
Hmmmm....I have done almost all the things suggested here. Still penalized. I guess it will come out when it comes out.

:) Done that as well - Still stuck in Sandbox - It is going to be five months now - Damn - so much missed Google traffic - it sucks.
 
Wow, google just increased the page rank on my site (more than 1 page) but has still got me sandboxed :confused:

I also recently applied for a ad sense program on a custom search engine and they denied it saying that my site had poor content. The content on my site is the most informative in the niche and the first 10 sites on Google are pretty much a joke as they just try to sell sell sell saying number 1 number1 .

Does the adsense denial mean that my site is going to be in the sandbox for much much longer. It has already been 5 months now.
 
Hey,
just keep building backlinks (not tons, 10-20/day and Not with the same anchors/text), also buy some links from good sites in your niche and keep adding content ..
 
Did you remove the entire linkwheel? If so, submit a reconsideration request. Be completely honest about creating the linkwheel in the hopes you would rank better. You now realize it was a mistake. Show them a list of all the linkwheel properties. Tell them they have all been removed, and you are now adding unique content daily, and are now promoting the site via video marketing, article marketing, and social media marketing.

I had a site that was sandboxed for 8 months. I couldn't figure out why, but then I realized I had stupidly created some blogs with Link Farm Evolution when I first launched the site. Guess what I did? I deleted all the LFE blogs, and my site was back up 2 weeks later. If I had submitted a reconsideration request right after deleting them I'm sure it would have been back up even sooner.

After getting out of the sandbox for about 2 months I got a little over confident. I dropped $800 getting super mininets created for 8 of my pages. Guess what? As soon as the first mininet was indexed I was sandboxed again. Its been 3 months now. I finally decided to go ahead and delete all the properties in the mininets. Thats over $800 down the drain. But I don't care. I'm confident that after I submit a reconsideration request detailing how stupid I am the site will be back.

I pity the fool who does some Blackhat SEO tactic and waits 8 months to a year for their site to get out of the sandbox. IMHO its always cheaper to cut your losses right away, delete the properties, submit a reconsideration request telling them what you did, and get the site ranking again using Whitehat methods.

Let me know how it turns out for you.

Hey, thanks for the advice. I actually submitted a reconsideration request today. I sent them a fairly long explanation about the linkwheel and that I got it deleted. I sent them the URL's as well.

I am not all that hopeful because they recently denied my site for adsense saying that it has poor content (although it doesn't). Anyways, let us see what happens.
 
This doesn't sound like a sandbox from what you have explained. If you want I'll take a look at it for you and give you my opinion on it but you'll need to PM me your URL and keywords you are targeting.

Hey, no offense but I don't want to share my URL. Not that it is a treasure box or anything like that but I hope you understand.

Why do you say it is not the sandbox. I am pretty sure it is because I got nailed within 24 hours of the linkwheel indexing.
 
My site got sandbox for about 18 months now all the way since July 2009. Till now, I have been building backlinks (outsource the link building)

It is perculiar as it will come back to page 4/5 for a few days and disappear to nowhere for a couple of months before appearing again for a few days...ie. on and off. Before the site got sandboxed, I was on page 1 at #6 or #7 position. Got greedy and went for Xrummer blast direct to the site.

It has been sandbox till now......:(
