Do not Submit to Google if you do Not want to be Sandboxed!

12 replies
Hi,

I just want to give a word of warning to you all about submitting to Google.

I recently created a website called:
Enoch Tan - Creator of Mind Reality

Many people have been searching my name "Enoch Tan" for more information about me, therefore I created that site specifically for that purpose.

After a few days, I noticed my site show up on the second page of Google for the search term "Enoch Tan". I made some changes to the title and body and then waited a few more days, but Google did not update the search engine listing of it yet.

So in order to expedite the process of getting Google bots to crawl my site again, for the first time in my life I submitted a site to Google which was that site.

Next thing I know the website is no longer found on the second page and when I search for the domain name itself, it even ranks on the last position out of 4 results!

I never entered into the Google Sandbox before for any of my other websites when I did not submit them to Google.

The LESSON learnt here is: DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR NEW SITE TO GOOGLE UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE SANDBOXED!

This explains the mystery of why certain new sites get sandboxed while others did not.

Regards,
Enoch Tan - Creator of Mind Reality

    Hi,

    One of the ways I am using to hopefully get my website into the top rankings once again faster is by creating a press release with keyword anchor text links to my site.

    I created a press release which was published today at PRWEB for $360.

    Enoch Tan Releases Personal Website About The Secrets Of Life

    I'm looking to see if it would get my website out of the sandbox faster.

    I have also requested site reconsideration under Google Webmasters Tools beforehand.

    Hey Enoch,

    I don't think that it's wise to make such a sweeping statement
    because you have only your experience with one site to go on.

    Perhaps, a better approach is to state your problem and ask others
    to comment.

    When we make sweeping statements it can negatively impact newer
    IM'ers and give them an incorrect view....Don't you think?

    Regards

    Greg

        Anyway there's no need to submit your site to Google. You'll get indexed quickly by making a post at Propeller or Digg.
        As I said, my site was already ranking on the second page of Google before I submitted it. I didn't do it to get it indexed, but to expedite the process of getting Google bots to crawl it again.

        I have created a site map for it after the incident.
