about 3 of my blogs were on the 1st page of google for about a mth now i cant find them. WTF and were the hell are they, they are still indexed can anyone give insight as to what happened to them, and how to get them back...
 
I've got a site which was hovering around page 1 and 2 until last week when it dropped to position 495+ and then completely off the scale. I think it's the 'sandbox' - just keep building links and it should come out stronger (apparently). I'm not giving up on mine anyhow.
How old are your domains? I'm pretty sure that is relevant too. Mine is only about 3 months old.
 
mine are about the same... so why would google do this. now i have to decide whether or not i wanna continue doing these type of sites if google would just do this crazy stuff, i was making adsense blogs that were paying out pretty good to start off and they were headed to the top 3 of the 1st page... maybe i should just stop making adsense and minisites and just concentrate on memebership sites and do social network marketing were i really wont have to depend so much on SE for traffic...
 
How long you got your domain registered for?

I hear if you have it registered for three years or more, Google thinks that the website is going to be used for a good purpose, where as sites that are only register for 1 or 2 years are more likely to be ditched after 1 or 2 years and therefore are more likely to be sandboxed.

It may be bull, but its funny how when ive register a domain for 1 year, it quickly rises to the top page in a couple of months and then within a couple of weeks completely disappears into the sandbox.

And when ive registered a domain for 5 years its never go into a sandbox at all.

Maybe a fluke, but i dont know.
 
but im doing adsense blogs how am i going to have it registered for 5 yrs thats crazy so am i going to have to starve and go broke because google will keep on snadboxing my sites WTH is that all about so y even do affiliate and adsense sites...
 
Are you hosting blogs on your own domain, or are you keeping them on a blogging service such as wordpress or blogger etc...?

Never done blogs with my own domain, so i dont know whether they get sandboxed or not.
 
Same thing happened to me. 6 sites in top positions now they are nowhere
 
well i was hosting them on my own server but they were sub domains, not 1st level domains...
 
the same case here, my .cc domain disappear from google
first i think that this temp, but now i m sure one of my competitors done this
with bh way, any way that wasn't the end of the world if i lost the seo value
of my site,i putted it down now and will make it a membership site with viral traffic
but if i catch this ass that banned it, his PayPal and bank info will end in warez forums :p
 
so let me ask everyone can the sites be salvaged and put back in the top rankings or are they lost forever...
 
Sandboxed doesnt always mean gone forever, its just where google likes to stick newbie websites to cut down on spammy newly made websites taking over the top positions on the search engines.

Just keep adding content and building backlinks and be patient hopefully you will salvage your rankings in time and get to higher positions.
 
I've heard a lot of people coming back from the sandbox fine, some even stronger.
 
so do i need to build more backliks to these site... so i can get them reindexed
 
I had a whole network of 15 sites on the first page of google. 90% of my traffic was SE traffic with huge amounts of US, UK, and CA traffic. Then 2-3 weeks ago, my sites all dropped. So I'm paying for lots of backlink work to be done, hopefully that brings them back.
 
I also experienced this BS..My domain name is only 3 months old. I do some on page SEO stuff + off-page stuff and I installed a blog inside it,,then just last friday. My site achieve the top 10 rankings on a keyword that has a high competition on my niche.. I was really happy that time..but 4 days after My site gone to 10 to 68..
 
so what is the use of doing these sites if google just deindexes them and throws everything out of wack, im beginning to think that doing just SE is BS unless u have a domain name that has been around for awhile but who has the time for that when u r just starting out r u serious google WTF...
