Is Your Website Trapped In Google Sandbox?
Author: Wisam Abdulaziz

IF you are a webmaster and you didn't hear about the sandbox
before, let me make a small prevision about sandbox, sandbox is
a temporary penalty imposed by search engines on the new
websites witch prevents them from showing in a good ranking
with search engines and some times showing no where in the SERP
for a long period.

The first question that may comes up is how much the period
that the search engines may keep your site in the sandbox,
actually the answer for this question depends on many factors:

1- Which search engine you meant in your question, this period
is short with MSN some times it is around one month, while it
is about four months with Yahoo, with Google it may be extended
to more that one year.

2- How match link popularity does your site have, the more
inbound quality links your site have the shorter time your site
will spend in the sandbox.

3- How much competitive is the keyword that you are targeting
for your website, definitely if you are targeting a long term
with no competition you are not going to stay the same time as
if you are targeting a competitive keyword.

There is something you should always remember, that even if you
are out of the sandbox you still need more age for your site to
get more trust from the search engine and eventually ranking
will and this point is easy to notice with Google.

Here I want to list example for the effect of sandbox, on of my
sites www.searchengineoptimizationtoronto.com which is still
relatively a new website (About 4 months of age), obviously
through this website I am trying to target a long term which is
search engine optimization Toronto and the mission looks easy as
the domain contains all words, but now after checking the SERP I
can see it for the term search engine optimization Toronto:

First spot with MSN, first page with Yahoo, still no where with
Google.

Then when I know that my website is in sandbox so what to do??

First thing be patient nothing serious happened, just keep
working on your site, and try to make it useful to the
visitors, update it regularly. Try to improve the link
popularity of your site by getting more inbound links from
quality related websites (That is will shorten your stay in the
sandbox).

If you really got enough headache reading about sandbox and you
don t like to go with your new website through it, then simply
buy old website that meets your business with about 2 years old
or more and you can save yourself that entire sandbox's
headache.
