Hey there,

I had a blog and I was ranking lots of post on google. At one point I was getting 1,500 to 2,000 visitors per month from google searches. Then one day I was being stupid and blasted one of my blog posts with gsa ser by mistake. That resulted in my site being instantly sandboxed and my visitors droped drastically.

Is there a way that I can have my blog out of sandbox in less than a month without spending too much money.

    Try removing the [exact] keyword from the entire page especially the page <title>, that was previously ranked. Get Google to re-index & re-cache the page. Test one page & see If it attempts to bounce back in the SERPs.

    I assume you don't have any WMT warnings for bad links.

      Yeah..... GSA is a great tool but it can be too "energetic" ))

      Since Big G is unpredicatble it's difficult tos say what will work.

      You could try to:
      1. Add some content to the blog (dilute your bad links this way)
      2. Buy some quality links.
      3. Buy some social signal

      Good luck!

      That's an interesting one to try on. Any reason behind this, yukon? I assume it's because Google penalising the posts for being "over optimized". But if you remove the keywords completely, I guess those keywords will never get ranked at all?

        Sometimes pages get over optimized, back off the keyword a bit, let the page sit for a while & see how Google responds. I assume you already have keyword anchor-text links pointing at the problem page.

        Another thing you could try is completely remove the keyword from the existing problem page, build a 2nd page targeting the same keyword, then go back to the 1st page (problem page) & add a keyword anchor text link pointing at the new page that's targeting the keyword.

    Thanks, yukon. I used to use an SEO plugin to make sure I have 2-3% keywords on my every post (which was what recommended last time by every "SEO expert").

    It's gonna be a pain to update hundreds of articles to ease the keywords "stuffing". But the experiment is worth a try on 1 or 2 articles to start with

      Lol, that was never recommended by any SEO expert. Maybe an affiliate of a product pitching density on their sales copy, but not an SEO.
