google sandboxed or blacklisted me (please help)

13 replies
Guys I seem to be in trouble with Google. In the past 2 month I started doing SEO for my site. distantjob.com. I have been building links by creating articles with back links, and also used Angela Backlink strategy. I was very careful not to post too many articles (10 per day) and think that I did everything right. I started getting results in Yahoo and msn and even started climbing slowly on google. Everything was good and Dandy, till 3 days ago, where my result disapeared. I'm not even worried about fancy keywords but when I type in distant job or even distantjob.com and I can't find my site anywhere.

I'm hope someone can help me find out what's going on and how do I get my site on track

    You can drift in and out of rankings in those early days so don't get too worried at this stage.
    Log into Google Webmaster tools and you can check if there is anything wrong with your domain.
    However more than likely you will back in the rankings in the coming days and over time your ranking and movements will become more stable and incremental.

    I have said this before and I'll say it again for your (and other newbies) benefit. Google likes fresh content. I have had sites shoot to the top of the results only to completely disappear a few weeks later. A few more weeks later and the site reappears and it finds its eventual place in the search results. During this time, you need to keep building your links. If your site does not come back, you can ask for a manual review.

    It happened to me few times, I don't think google blacklist you that easy.

    I don't remember exact numbers, but I know sometimes I was on the first page for some keywords and the next day I couldn't find my website anywhere for many of the kw. I think G just updates sometimes.

    From your post I understand your website isn't new so I couldn't blame it on the way google treats the new ones (first day you go up then you experience a huge drop in SERPs).

    I'm curious what others think about it though ..

    Google is in the middle of a slightly bigger than usual update at the moment so I wouldn't worry too much about what is going on in the next few days

    Hello ITOutsourcing,

    Well, you have to worry: you just disappeared from SERP... First thing first, check your latest backlinks for "bad neighborhood". Second, check how many websites are hosted on the same IP address as you. If there are too many or NOT all yours, MOVE your site.

    Success!

    @Peter: same to you & "Iti urez succes!"

    Ha ha you guys giving me a heart attack :-) So I gave the best advice is to wait. Should I keep on writing articles or should I wait?
