sandbox

I had spent 6 months backlinking for a what I consider a major keyword and things starting rocking. But then for the last 4-6 months my site lost rank. I was pretty sure the mucho backlinking wasnt a factor based on countless testimonies here on BHW. The consensus here on BHW is there is no...

Hello, I have an website with photography. My site uses SEO Search Taggings 2 from last winter. In March I've started building manually some backlinks on some high PR sites, made rss of the profile links, submit to rss directories and than pinged the rss. On 7 March (the next day) my site...

Hey there people, There are a lot of newbies here who want to know if their site has been sandboxed. The general advice is to use the domain name in google search to see if it comes up first. This doesn't work as your website can come up first for the domain name search even if your site is...

Hey guys, I have a domain registered at May 2010 and it got sandboxed since the beginning of Sep 2010, I continued to build backlinks using article submissions like UAW for more 2 months after that but it didn't recover so I just left it there, and it's still sandboxed. Recently I have...

I've had an autoblog running on wp robot for about 8 months now, I never touch it only use it to promote my other sites in the same niche. It has been growing steadily getting about 700 daily hits in analytics, it was also ranking for some decent keywords all on its own. About a week ago...

Ok, I've been hearing" well if spamming can get you de-indexed" we could just spam the hell out of our competitors sites and have them removed. They state this with the authority of someone who's been promised "life is fair" or as if you can't click on a competitors Adsense all day...

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...

Hey guys One of my money sites is in the sand box. I have been trying to get it out but have had no success for 1.5 months. I just wanted to ask people, when you have been in the sandbox before - has it come out in time intervals that is always in increments of months - Most people say that...

Whats your guys ideas about overdoing SEO? Do you think it is possible to do too much and reap consequences because of it? I have started an aggressive campaign with a site I am working on. Very aggressive. All aspect, articles, press releases, social bookmarks, linkwheels, article...

Well I was completely dropped from the index for a few days for one keyword. I had been building links... I read somewhere that perhaps the sandbox is a filter triggered by (amongst other things) a combination of traffic and amount of backlinks. So I decided to buy some quality traffic from...
