I have been sandboxed and i didnt even no what can I do

i didnt even no lol i was high ranked when i just started my site then i droped i just thought it was the norm i have been working realy hard on my SEO and i know it takes time for Google to move you up etc etc so i have been waiting lol and waiting

and what a plank i was didnt even think about being sandboxed so now i feal really daft with my self and all that work i was doing for what my own fun

does any one have any tips on what i can do to get out of the sandbox i know some ideas but not them all lol also i have read stuff like it can take 4-6 months then i see it can take 8-18 moths lol whats the correct one haha

i can see why this has happend as i was on page two for some of my main keywords and i was also going up for all of them i should have seen that somthing like this would have happend as i was doing to well i just think its another one of googles stupid ideas

does anyone have any tips then

You can check thsi web site - http://www.webrankinfo.com/english/pagerank/ or to go to googlecommunity.com to aks more questions.

Have a good one

LOL im not on about that kind of page rank (PR) im on about page rank as in #1 etc etc were i was and am in google search engine

Any website which is less than 6-9 months old does not get proper weitage really from Google .

Even if the website was ranked in top position than it might have happened during google dance.

Just keep on doing ethical SEO , everythign will be on track

yer i will carry on with my SEO its just it would be nice to be able to see some of my hard work in google

i really do think that the sandbox idea is just daft google should scrap it

Sandbox idea is a good idea and I support it .Otherwise lot of spamming and overnight rise will take place.

well yer but it doesnt give the real people much of a chance they should do some sort of checking system

LOL is that it then i cant do anything there must be some one here with some good tips on getting out etc etc. if so please help

Work on your site and make it the best it can possibly be while you are waiting for it to appear.

LOL thats what i have been trying to do but now that i have been told it could be another 6-18 month before google even start to place my website in the correct place its made me feel like i cant be botherd with it but that realy anoying as i have been working about 13 hours 7 days a weak for the last 6 months on my website so i feel all that time and work has just gone to waste on the google side of things

ok what is sandboxing, i read an article about it and it made no sense...
It said something about exclusion patterns like :-dfsdgsdsd -sdfgsdgsdfg -sdfgsdgsdg -sdfgsdfgsdfg -dsfgsdgsdg -sdfgsdfgsdfg -sdgsdfgdsfg
and then search for your keyword etc... but how do i know if i am sandboxed or whatever... I followed the article but still couldn't tell...

Also i have noticed whenever i try link:designplanet.biz in my search nothing comes up i dunno why.

I have SEO all them keywords but there not in the top 500 or i think top 1000

my main keywords that i am aiming for is

custom built computers
car computers
computer hardware

i really dont think its my SEO as when the site went up i was on page 2 of google for some of them keywords and was even on page 1 for some others but i have been told this is what Google do to show you were you can be then they sandbox you

i have also been told if i get my website as a one way link on a PR7 website or a website that is on page 1 in google that gets indexed very often that it will get me out of the sandbox what i want to no is, is this true?

LOL if so how the heck am i going to get a one way link on a site like that

Stop all your sneaky stuff.


Bompa

sneaky stuff i dont under stand ???

"sandbox" is something of a misnomer IMO.
What it appears to be, was originally a "time delay" that applied to links as Google discovered them, which held off the ranking weight so did not allow sites to come out of the starting gate with thousands or tens of thousands of links and appear at the top of the SERPs within a few weeks.
This is how the link spammers worked, and needless to say these were the first people to start complaining about this (no names mentioned to protect the guilty) and this delay was the Google means of combating the problem of their own making. Had their algo not been so sensitive to anchor text for ranking the issue would probably not occured
Matt Cutts has said that the current aging delay was not a deliberate design by the algo engineers but decided that it worked in their favour anyway so found what caused it and used it. Although it is not a good idea to take what he says as absolute fact, it can be a pointer for your own observations.

The exclusion patterns search was a way of nullifying some of the effects of various updates and soon after being discovered and published ceased to work. Quite possibly an engineers "back door" to test the effects.

Good info chrishirst thank you

but Bompa says that i should stop the sneaky stuff but i dont understand what he meens as i didnt think im doing any sneaky stuff at the very start when my site went up i did have hidden links but for less than a weak as i removed then when i realised that would not help me

so i do everything by the book well i thought i did but acording to Bompa dosnt look like i have ?

lol i got ignored...
Ill ask again incase you didnt see.. How do you check for sure if you're sandboxed? And how come link: doesnt ever work?

There isn't a surefire means of telling, because it may be that your site isn't delayed but your optimisation is crap

The (sort of) way to tell is if pages can be found in Yahoo and/or MSN and are ranking for competitive phrases but only in Google for low competition specific phrases from page titles (in quotes usually) on localised phrases eg: Blue Widgets in Lesotho (lets see how soon this page gets to be No 1 for that.)

link: (for Google) has never actually worked the way that webmasters expected it to,
Initially it only showed links on pages over a certain (real) PR value (TBPR 4), Then it dropped to a selection that appeared to be ones that were important (to Google), Followed by a random selection which could change from day to day. Now it's anybody's guess which will show up on any given day.

I can find my website on google, if i search specific terms, like AJAX Bryce XSL tutorials but obviously no one will type that, but does that mean im not sandboxed?
