Hello Everyone,

I submitted my site to killerstartups.com this week. I went from 3 inbound links to over 600 in 2 days. All the links are from blogs that feed from KS.

My site is www.cycleridge.com. Now, my site won't appear even if I search "Cycle Ridge". I never had a problem in the 2 months. I did an index search and I'm still in there somewhere.

I also understand that there may be a "honeymoon period" for a new site but I would still think I would be listed under that basic search.

I should also mention that 2 months ago, I moved the site to this new domain name.

I'm just worried that Google might think the domain transfer and the sudden inbound links are fishy. Is this a possibility or should I look for another possible cause?

Also, my SEO company just launched an AdWords campaign this week as well. Can someone verify that the index ranking will not effect the AdWords?

Sorry to sound panicy about this, but I'm sure you all understand how nerve racking this stuff is when you have so much riding on a website.

I don't think RSS feed has something to do with you being on the sandbox thingy. Did you used a redirection when you moved the site?

It's all bout the content I guess. Maybe you're site doesn't have enough content to get you on a good SERP placement. Just an opinion.

All perfectly normal.

I should also mention that 2 months ago, I moved the site to this new domain name.

And did you redirect the old site pages to the new?

I believe my developer used a 301 redirect.

I feel better that none of this raises any alarms.

I know there is an Adwords forum but instead of making a duplicate post, I'll just ask here. This still wouldn't effect Adwords, right? The traffic was nice from the SERP but the orders are coming from the Adwords.
