Dear all,
I am not an expert on SEO. However, I knew that people are talking about Allegra and Sandbox. I believe that they are important terms. Can any expert here briefly explain the two terms here? I have tried to read many posts around, but failed to get a clear picture.

Hi Andrew

Greetings from Cebu, Philipines. I believe Allegra refers to the Feb-02-2004 update, and the sandbox is where most new sites seem to go once they are indexed by Google. Once in the sandbox, they show up rarely in the serch results.

I see no evidence of a rollback here, my lyrics site is still getting 10% traffic compared to what it was. I think it has been put into the sandbox even though this site is more than 1 year old. I think our best hope would be the next update which may happen next week.

Anyway, I just want to forget this nightmare when I am no holiday. At least, thank goodness, Kristi has behaved so far. Say hello to the others for me.

And I thought Allegra was for allergies...

Sorry, had to do it.

Hi Derek,
Kung Hei Fat Choi. Have a nice trip in Cebu! I think Allegra is also indirectly related to 302 redirect technique, which had already made the 2 Feb 2005 even worse and it a nightmare to me. Anyway, I've written to those bad guys and their hosting companies yestersday. One had already promised me to stop their dishonest means within 72 hours and I will closely monitor the development and of course keep collect evidence.
For me, I am still not fully understand how sandbox works. I need more reading.

Allegra and Sandbox are just nicknames given to PR updates?
