where the hell is my site?

[thedog]

I've worked hard on an amazon site. I found an exact match .com for my targeted keyword. The keyword is not trademarked, but is a serial number. It gets just under 4000 monthly searches.

The site is about 2 weeks old, on page seo is bang on, i've a few articles on article directories, I've a squidoo page, a youtube video, I've submitted it to lots of social bookmarking sites, I've pinged it!

I'm using scroogle.org to search for it, and it's not coming up in the top 100.

Other domain names have the trademarked brand and serial number.

What more can I do?

Probably google dancing. Give it time.
It's just two weeks.

I suggest you keep the linkbuilding going. join some forums that are related to the niche. do some high PR profile links.

Thanks.

The site's been up over 2 months, but I only propery seo'd it in the past 2 weeks.... could that have something to do with it?

I was thinking the same thing... is there any way of finding out if it is, and if so, how to un sandbox it?

Yea just hang in there. I sometimes get sites dancing still after 4 months. SEO takes time. If it was easy anyone could do it

[thedog]

Thanks guys, I'll keep working on it. But, is there any way to tell if you've been sandboxed?

Did you try in Google by typing Site:url ??

If it does not exist, then your site has been banned from Google.

Thanks, i did this, and only my privacy policy page showed up on page 1, in 7th spot.

So, this means my site is not banned?

Yea, i second that.
this query will show you the indexed pages of your site
if this query returns null then your site is possibly hanging in sandbox
another website to check whether your site has been penalized is: searchenginegenie.com/sandbox-checker.htm

That is not right. You should be getting your pages only, like: site:blogspot.com
That will return only blogspot pages, you should only see your own domain.

The Google Dance means your website is being noticed.

Give it time and it will give you the ranking. Easy enough, right?

I tried it again, and I'm just getting my site now... must have done something wrong the first time.

So, my site is on google.... guess I just have to wait to get noticed.

Bit odd... my other sites are ranking on page 1 and 2... and have done pretty much the same thing.

I think you website is very new try to keep the link building phase slow as possible before search engine banned you website. Search engine can put your website in sandbox to avoid this try to keep the link building slow.

I did use a fiverr gig getting 500 backlinks... this must be the problem.

The site was 2 months old at that stage... But I only really seo'd it 2 weeks ago.

Is it doomed, or should I keep link building?

[ianspencer]

some time google do the dance on website so it updates the ranking you need to wait some time

Ohhh so you did get backlinks, no worries than, pages almost always drop before they come back up again, hopefully a little stronger.
No worries, keep at it and see if your site stabilizes in the next few weeks.

It takes time and some folk expect things to happen overnight, If only it were that easy! You should start to see things happen after 2 months of your efforts and get the real position on Google that you deserve.

Thanks for the feedback.

I know I have to wait, but this is the only site that this is happening to, so I just thought something was up.

May be your site needs some changes friend. The new algorithm is punishing sites with lot of ads or sites meant only for affiliate ads. Make the site userfriendly, change the layout to other top ranking sites and hopefully it should be back.

Traffic is very important in this situation. To come out of first 10 lists on SERPs you have acquire more traffic. Try to make quality backlinks.

No, that's not it, the site is solid. It's an amazon affiliate site, and it's modeld on one which from a wso, which I paid $97 for.

There's 2 articles, 600 words each, with good seo.
