Google sandboxing

Can someone give me an authortative answer to a question thats been puzzling me for a while?

My main site has been up for a few months now - its an Amazon affiliate site with nothing but amazon products. All the content is unique as i added all the products one by one and wrote the content myself. The domain name is a keyword and ive optimised it the best i can with keyword research, Google xml plugin, SEO pro.

My site keeps disappearing from Google search - one minute its up then its nowhere to be seen when i do the search on the keyword. There was a time whenit was nowhere to be found when i did the search then it came back and now its gone again and hasnt come back for a while. i just dont get it. I put so much work into this site. Does anyone have any idea whats going on? I cant see any reason for Google to penalise me. Im not using link wheels, duplicate content or anything i can think of they might not like.

Any ideas? is this the sandbox effect?

      from what i have read, there is no real google sandbox. there is trust factors that get figured into the mix, but not really a sandbox per say. i think i read something here on this forum to that effect (pondering)

      u might be just catching a bounce. bounces happend alot. especially if you are on a wp platform. if your site is fairly new, you will see some bouncing around until a final spot is given to you. just keep building links and doing your offsite optimization, with time you will be fine i am sure. if you are confident all of your onsite is fully optimized, try supplementing with ppc until your position is stable.

    Personally I'd stay away from PPC with Amazon products as the commision is so low you'll struggle making a profit.

    What's your site so we can have a quick look?

      Its disappeared yet again - Its annoying http://kidsbatterycars.net
      I should say now - ive done a lot of php editing of the wp theme to get it how it is - nothing blackhat in the design or plugins. And i have outsourced work on articles using resources on this forum - nothing extravagant our hogh volume that will ring alarm bells with google

          Are you saying my problem may be due to the fact that my site is an Amazon store?

    If you have a google account -- (get one) -- put your website into Google's WebMasterTools.
    You will get LOTS of very helpful information from Google, such as what terms you are ranking for, etc.
    I don't know how long your site has been up -- but I've heard from reliable sources that store sites DO bounce around quite a bit during this time of year.

    Let me know if that helps!
