I was afraid of Google sandbox after one of my small websites disappeared, but I rad a lot about Google and came with the answer that you must constantly work on the site so Google and users can realize that your site is worth of visiting.

After this I made a site that wasn’t touched with Google sandbox. Google says all the time that you must keep users with interesting content. So do that!

Great article.

Something I’ve always been interested to know is, how can you tell definitely when you’re out of the sandbox? Is it just by an increase in traffic or is there some other metric that you can observe?

Thanks,

How long it will take to get out of the Google sandbox depends on how hard are you working on your new website. Be sure to get bigger popularity in a few weeks after you uploaded your website and you could even avoid Google sandbox or you will be a very short time in it. Here is an article in Serbian on this theme:

Great comment Printer – this is also very true. If you buy your domain name for 10 years versus 1 it shows Google that you are more committed to the site and it’s more likely not to be spammy website.

Great article! I am a fairly new website selling business cards online. I purchased my domain and started SEO as I was building it. I currently work with a company that has a pagerank of “5″. So I took it upon myself to give myself a link. Google came quickly and so didn’t MSN. It took me the longest to get indexed from Yahoo. I believe their sandbox is more harsh than Google. I’m not sure if MSN even has one.
Anyway, I had a guy at a previous job try to sell me SEO, and I listened to his presentation for about an hour. After about 5 minutes into his presentation I realized he was “black hat”.
For those who don’t know what black hat is, it’s the bad guy. The old western cowboy movies always the good cowboy wearing a white hat, and the bad one wearing a black hat. The Black Hat SEO guys are the ones you need to fear. They probably will get you ranked quickly, but if Google finds out about it you will be banned. They basically do tricks that manipulate the SERPS. Stick with a white hat company.
Anyway, when I realized he was a black hat cowboy, I just started picking his brain. The most important thing I learned is that if you are a new website, and you are buying a domain don’t just buy it for a year. I bought my domain name for 10 years, and it worked.
I wasn’t in the sandbox for long, and my traffic is steadily increasing. I was stuck in the “supplemental results” for a while (which I expected) but as son as I started submitting sitemaps to Google I was out of them in less then a week. Coincidence? I think not.
