OK, well I think I did this by accident. I was doing so well, following everything you guys suggest (you and Griz) my site was up, then I added new content (related to my keyword, but not my keyword) used UAW and a few other backlink techniques and I got sandboxed. Now I have lost of links out there because of using UAW redirecting to my site with unrelated keywords. Is there anyway to fix that? If I just start plugging in new content related again to my keywords, I should be ok, right? If not, what do I do?

Thanks for your help!

I’ve never given this a try, but I think it’s about time I do.

Sonia if you’ve been deindexed you need to do a reinclusion request with Google Webmaster Tools. However, there’s probably a reason why you got deindexed. If this is the case, you won’t get back in and you’ll need to start over with a new domain.

What is the best way to get a site that has been completely deindexed by Google back into the index? I keep reading where people have spent time link building, even completely starting over with entirely different content on the domain and months later still not indexed. What’s your suggestions?

Thanks,
Sonia

Hi Court,
Ditto on the request for details about “small network of sites.”

I think it is just shuffling. One of my new sites without any backlinks yet got Google traffic for about 4 days continuously from US and then stopped. That site is nowhere visible here in India. One of my posts which does not appear anywhere on Google here in India, ranks at the second position for the keyword in Philippine data center. Oh yes, google indexed all my new sites without any backlinks yet. I always leave the site with one post and wait for it to be indexed before adding links.

I’ve found that the fasted path “out” of the sandbox is to do just as you’ve prescribed: Add content and backlinks!

Oh, and it’s been my observation that when I target “long tail” keywords, the sandbox effect is definitely less severe than when I target “hot” keywords.

@Justin,
Thank you. I should note that getting poor quality links wasn’t my intention. Actually, getting links for all of my previous posts wasn’t my intent at all. I just wanted to put into my signature on a forum that I frequent that is quite relevant to my day job and my first blog.

I have been trying to build good quality links fro the get-go. It just happened that when I changed my signature it changed them on all of the 270 posts that I have made. At least if boosted me up for a little while. Now the process of building more links continues.

Thanks,
Tim

Court,
In your email #2 you are talking about the changes you made to the site you bought and that after doing some internal links you also “created some external links to these pages, using article distribution and by creating a small network of sites.”

Can you please elaborate on just what “a small network of sites” is? What exactly are you talking about here…Squidoo, Huppages, blogger blogs or what?

Thanks.
Bruce

Grizz, as you know one of my money makers was recently caught up in this “shuffle” gone for days on and off for weeks and then it came back , actually in a better position than before,

Sandbox, I have been successful as Justin said with spoon feeding new sites quality links at first and letting the site kind of establish itself. In other words one BMD run early on and you are going to the beach.
