I cannot find a few of my sites in google since a month. If I delete the entire content and create a totally new site with unique content and a new design, will google treat this as a new site and index it back?

Thanks

    I never had experience with the sandbox, but I'm assuming that the site will remain there regardless if you delete and add new content. It's my understanding that the sandbox is related to backlinks, not the content. And the backlinks would still be in tact. How did you get sandboxed?

    It's been deindexed? Or just no where to be found in the SERPs?

    If you do a search of site:www.yoursite.com does it come up?

    If you had gotten sandbox, your links would still be indexed just not ranked high. That's all the sandbox does anyway. But if your links are gone, then you got deindexed for something more serious like keyword stuffing or bookmark spamming to name only two possible violations.

    Site does not come up when I do site:www.site.com, getting a "no documents found", same with any internal link on the site.

    I built too many links in a short time, profile type and blog commenting

      It should be searched without the www.

      Just site:yoursite.com

      If it's not there, that means it has been deindexed.

          In my experience...getting out of the "sandbox" requires just solid and consistent link building over time.

          The reason you're experiencing the sandbox effect is that your site may have something that caused an algorithmic trigger.

          Consistent link building will let Google know that your site is indeed important and they WILL release back onto the SERPs in no time.

          Trust me...I've been there. So keep your head down and continue building links!

        I don't think it does matter if you include the www or not. Even you include the http it must be shown if it is really index by search engine.

        @Sam

        Just continue building links to your site and you must be consistent in doing this because Google also look on the consistency of links of a website. I would also suggest bookmarking your sites to improve the indexing of your site.

      It's not the links, trust me. I build 25k link sites or more all of the time and don't have that problem. Google doesn't have a problem with large sites being built over a short time and you don't get deindexed for that since large sites popping up overnight are so commonplace it wouldn't make since.

      You think facebook and myspace started with only 100 links? No way. Them and ecommerce sites start sites with 1000's of links in them and upload them all at once.

      Your affiliate links aren't doing it either. The affiliate link issues only applies to google adwords because the pubs are getting sick of lazy dishonest people putting up farticles and flogs to trick people into buying their product and, unfortunately, mostly affiliates are doing this. It's been proven that if a person doesn't own the product, they'll do anything to sell it but if they own it, they treat their brand with more respect...thus the google adwords banning of affiliates.

      It's design to keep revenues flowing since their adwords publishers are making all their money (gotta keep them happy). Gotta keep quality ads on their network as many of the ads on google used to be low caliber.

      Now, for SEO, this doesn't apply for the simple fact that it's really hard to get ranked high enough to make a difference anyway. Plus, people who build seo sites that get ranked high, don't short cut. They do the job right the first time which provides value to the visitors looking for certain things on google.

      Having said THAT, the only thing that is messing you up is possibly fraudulent activity. Any cloakers, proxies or software's used to backlink or bookmark they heck out of your site, will get you deindexed REALLY quick.

      Again, like the other people have stated, the best test is to do the site:http://yoursite.com or site:yoursite.com or site:www.yoursite.com to see if you have any results. If you don't have any, then you are deindexed.

      Now, if you ARE deindexed, don't worry. It's not hard to get off the crap list. All you have to do is build some new pages on your site in addition to the ones you have now, stop using cloakers, stop using proxies, stop using softwares to social bookmark you and whatnot, then, get your links and submit them on a site like PingDevice and wait a week or so.

      One thing about google is, if you get sandboxed OR deindexed, you can easily fix them and get your rankings back in a matter of weeks. The only time to worry is if you've been banned but, even then, you can get out of that too. You fix what's wrong, real ping the links, you're back on the indexed results.

    Hi Sam,

    First let me say there is no Sandbox. There is a natural part of Google's algorithm that is sometimes referred to as the "Sandbox Effect". The so called "Sandbox Effect" is simply put the effect of ranking pages that have been around longer with higher trust since they have stood the test of time.

    So by wiping out your content and starting fresh you are simply wiping out any trust you may have earned up to this point. This certainly isn't going to relieve the "Sandbox Effect".

    Based on your subsequent post where you state "Site does not come up when I do site:www.site.com" you website seems to have been de-indexed. This generally only occurs due to a violation of Google's Webmaster guidelines.

    There is nothing in the guidelines that prohibit "too many links in a short time, profile type and blog commenting". You are looking at the wrong causes there. You need to take a close look at Google's Webmaster Guidelines and figure out which guidelines you are violating and fix that. After you have found and fixed everything you could find, ask an expert to look it over for anything you may have missed, then make a request for reconsideration.

      I just read over the guidelines as one of my sites is de-indexed. The only thing I can think of is because I use a plugin cloaker to cloak my affiliate links. But I really don't want to leave them out there raw. Not only is it ugly, it's just not a good idea. So what does Google expect us to do?

        It's very unlikely that this is the result of your link cloaking plugin. I use a link cloaking plugin on my main website which is ranking #3 for it's main keyword. That site is 2 months old and got sandboxed for a few weeks in late August/early September. If this is all the result of the sandbox effect, quit trying to find ways to get out of it. The only thing you can actually do during this time is continue creating high quality, unique content, build links, and make sure your on-page SEO is nice and neat. You're not going to beat the sandbox effect, you just have to wait it out.

    Also I wanna add...being sandboxed normally happens because google doesn't know if your site will be around for a long time. A secret to getting around this? By your domain names for 5 years or more. When you get a domain name, make sure you pay for 5 years instead of just one.

    Most fly by night scams buy 1 year which is why Google changed their algorythymns to get rid of those types of people. But if your site is paid up until 5 years, they know you'll be around a while. This isn't the only thing you can do to stay out of the sandbox, but this is a huge help, trust me.

      I've never heard of this. What makes you think it would matter? Have you tested this?

      OP - What kind of sites were they? One or two page MFA sites by chance? If not, and you have put alot of time and effort into the site, you could try to build more content and appeal to google to get indexed again. If it's just a one-page MFA site or some other terrible site, and you didnt spend alot of time on content, I think you are better off starting over.

      Just so you know - you can't get deindexed from building too many links too fast, even with heavy automation.

        I will back this up, I have done extensive testing with this over the last several years, but you have to realize its not a one size fits all.

        If you site is a garbage MFA type of site, your site wont even fall into the algo for advancement, as the site does not fit even the basic criteria.

        This is a very long and deep topic, but they absolutely look at all the other ranking sites / pages in that niche and do a benchmarking of each category, then if your site is way out of the expected norm your asking for problems (This in includes the expected source of incoming links, the expected velocity of link augmentation, etc)

        Registering your Domain for 5 years is of no value you to you if your site is just crap and you know its crap.

        Common sense and your gut feeling will ensure you know what is right and whats not, ( unless your a sociopath or something like that, LOL)

        Have to disagree. Google has no problems with 1 page content sites, as long as have an article, video and some outbound links to authority sites within your niche. So basically, if you're trying to help the searcher find what they are looking for, Google has no problem with 1 page sites. I have tons of them on page 1 of Google and they stick there.

        So if you're site dissapeared you should go and read Googles Webmaster Guidelines. If you can find out anything that you did wrong, then fix your site.

        Then, log into Google Webmaster Tools and submit your site for Reconsideration to Google. Wait a couple weeks and you should be reindexed -- as long as you don't have anything against Googles TOS within your site.

        Good luck!

      This has been debunked by Google:

        Why don't you test it out for yourself, You don't actually believe everything he says word for word do you ?

        The whole debate of No Follow is a perfect example, there are still tests site most SEO are working on in which variations of the No Follow, still provide measurable benefits with ranking and on page optimization factors.

        Matt is Google's Spin Doctor, you need to except it, many of the topic he talks about are absolutely valid and he is a great guy, I have spoken to him at countless conferences, but the spin doctor approach is aimed at the majority of weekend warrior SEO's, those are the ones the cause the indexes the majority of the problems. They are always looking for the quick fix or believe the "sucker is born every minute" type of products that get pitched endlessly on here..

        You need to understand most of the guys that push that crap don't even use the tools or software on their own top level / tier 1 sites, as they know the results...

        True Seo is always in the Grey, but there is a tremendous amount of time put into building quality content for users that has a end goal of being link bait.

          Hi OrganicSeoGuru,

          I have accumulated many years of test data and so have many others. While I understand that Cutts must represent Google's interests, it's not in Google's interest to lose credibility in their spokesman. Naturally Matt leaves out information that may encourage artificial manipulation or other dubious activity, generally I find what he says to be quite credible. If he were to make statements that where flat out false there would be a wave of outrage coming from industry insiders along with data that proves the lies. I don't find innuendo as credible opposition. If you know of verifiable lies told by Cutts let's see it!

          The Nofollow debate is an invalid argument in my opinion. The reason Nofollow links are effective have nothing to do with how Google treats them. You see, any promotional effort can have a positive benefit. Some of the highest ranking websites in highly competitive markets have earned their rankings through offline advertising. Anything that drives massive amounts of targeted traffic to a website with useful content will benefit indirectly in search engine rankings. Naturally, that includes nofollow backlinks that have absolutely no link juice.

          That indirect benefit is not unlike the one you see from Pay-Per-Click advertising. Google claims they don't boost organic rankings from PPC customers, yet most advertisers realize a significant boost in organic rankings. This happens, not because Google is favoring their PPC customers, those advertisers are benefiting from the increased awareness created by their ad campaigns that indirectly influences organic rankings. The same indirect benefit that PPC advertising causes on organic rankings happens for nofollow backlinks.

        The amazing thing is I never said anything about the 5 year URL helping rankings at all. Yet it was thrown in there as if I said it and everyone jumped on it like I thought it was the Gospel.

        What I said was (or was trying to say but it didn't come out right), the longer you register your domain name the better as it helps establish your staying power with Google. That's was what I said.

        To break down further (to prevent more people from twisting my words and blasting me while I'm away for a few days over something i DIDN'T say) by staying power, I mean just that. Google will know you will be around along.

        Now, did I say it helps rankings? Read what I said, never mentioned that. Rankings are determined by 90% (not an official number, for you stat seekers, just my own experience over the last 5 years) of your ON page seo and 10% by your OFF page seo.

        That's all I'm gonna say about this so, if you guys twisting my words are feeling aggressive again, go ahead and twist something else and bombard me with unnecessary rude rebuttals. I don't have time to get into that stuff, I'd rather spend my time making money.

          These two paragraphs demonstrate how little knowledge you really do have on the subject.

          Ok, so registering your domain for longer periods of time improves your staying power with Google? What exactly is staying power? Since it doesn't improve your rankings, I'm curious about staying power.

          And rankings are determined by 90% on-page? Seriously??? 5 years of experience and you think 90% of the ranking algorithm is dependent on on-page?

          Nobody was getting rude with you, in fact they were trying to prevent the dissemination of false information here.

          Don't give people advice or tips if you really don't know what you're talking about is all.

                "False information" that makes me money for years? There's logic. This is also my last time responding to this foolishness. I'm about to get into my football mode. But if you looked at the information with common sense, you see I'm indexed 5900 times.

                And doing that using the methods you and others call BS. Now, I"m not selling an SEO product here so I gain nothing from the information. I was just merely trying to help.

                But I don't frequent the WF much anymore and I JUST remembered why. Only on the forum will you receive the greatest punishment for sharing your experience within a certain niche. I'll go back to silent mode and keep my secrets to myself then instead of trying to help. Good luck to you guys.

                  OMG. You can get 5900 pages indexed. Nevermind, I take it all back. You are a master of SEO!!

                  I learned a long time ago that just because someone says they are making money, doesn't mean they really are.

                  With the information you've stated here, it's pretty obvious to me that you have no idea what you're talking about. And you never answered my question, what's staying power with Google?

                  I can't seem to find a definition. Registering your domain for more time gives you more staying power...

                  Does this mean that if my website and Google were at a party together that my website would be able to hold it's liquor better or what?

                    I didn't renew it for 5 years cause I don't plan to sell this product for more than another 6 months. At any rate, again, the life of the doamin name doesn't mean anything about rankings and I never said it did so I don't know why you're even posting that. Get a life dude, seriously.

                    Having said that, I really didn't have to explain that to you but I was bored this morning and going back and forth with you when you think you know what you're talking about but no nothing, was entertaining to me. I have no problem with you or how you think I don't make money with this information I give you.

                    However, it doesn't stop the fact that I haven't worked for another person in 3 years. Doesn't stop the fact that my sites are indexed in large quantities and it doesn't stop the fact that I'm successful with what I do. Proving it to you will do nothing (as we see already what you do to visual proof) as you will just find a way to keep an argument going for whatever mediocre reason you have swimming inside of your head.

                    Yeah, that'll show google you have staying power!

                    zero backlinks, PR0, and a site map that that is not done correctly.

                    And people wonder why...

                    How does registering a domain for 5 years show anything to google? Like they care?
                    If they cared, then maybe pre-paying hosting fees for 5 years would do
                    even better! Google has got to love that!

            I just reread this and I see what you're saying. I keep forgetting that I build my sites differently than everyone else. I'll fix this.

            The way I build MY sites, it's 90% on page seo and 10% off page. My sites are self sustaining simply becuase I build authority sites and I'm not gonna get into that. But, most people can't build them like I do, they have smaller sites, one page, maybe 12 pages, if it's a blog 100 pages or so...they have to do a LOOOOOOOT more off page seo than I do.

            Something like 20% on page, 80% off page. But my sites, because of the size and the optimization, they are self sustaining and dont' need any article marketing and whatnot to get going.

            Nevertheless, I do the off page seo just enough to get some steady traffic while I wait for google to rank my pages higher and higher.

            I jsut had to fix that cause I didn't really read your responses (because I didn't care what you had to say really...lol) But reread that and was like, "oh yeah, forgot, I have custom softwares that do what 98% of the seo guys can't do."

            So, there's my explanation to that.

                  You don't spam your links for backlinks, that's for sure. Because you're too worried about spinning garbage content on all 5900 pages of your website.

                  Here's a quote directly from one page on your site. I'll let others here determine if you actually have any idea what you are talking about:

                  What if I actually naked to you there takes place to become a transmit to justly pocket hits away from Yahoo, Bing, AND, Google , not solely presently over discard embattled passage but upper converting, very rewarding embattled visitors from people who sincerely opt for to grip YOUR merchandise or defense ?

                  Dude, give up. You have no clue what you're talking about with regards to SEO, domains, or probably anything else.

                  You showed off your 5900 pages indexed like it was some kind of trophy.

                  The only reason I posted in this thread was to let other people know that you were making BS stuff up. Some people here like to learn what it really takes to make money, not your Voodoo charm SEO which involves registering domains for 5 years for more "staying power", and spinning up 1000s of garbage pages of content and then bragging about it.

                  Now, I've got work to do so I'll let you have the last word. Good luck, please don't lead new SEO's down false paths. Thanks.

      Well, google can check. Anyone can check, really.

      Of course we can't forget another:
      Move your site to a new server with a new C Class Ip,...
      No wonder this forum is filled with people claiming to be sandboxed, de-indexed,
      banned, etc. You are following some witch doctor and their voodoo SEO.

      Most fly by night scams buy 1 year which is why Google changed their algorythymns to get rid of those types of people. But if your site is paid up until 5 years, they know you'll be around a while. This isn't the only thing you can do to stay out of the sandbox, but this is a huge help, trust me.
      This is not true from my experience. I have seen it happen to both 1 year old domains or less and ones that have been doing well for some time.

      The most recent one I am dealing with is 5 years old with no black hat or massive linking campaigns and is very white hat and several dozen highly relevant links. It just all of a sudden dropped off Googles index a few months back and has several dozen back links from respectable places.

      The irony is I have had many sites that acquired thousands of back links a week and are still doing well.

    Sam

    This depends on a lot of factors:

    Here is a list that you should follow for "debugging"

    1) Why was your site SBoxed, what did you actually do, ( it makes a difference) ( off page hidden content, black hat cloaking, spam linking, linking out to poison sites, selling links, your site was hacked and you don't know yet, etc, etc, etc)

    2) Lets say you just created some basic spam link wheels, or used some automated tool that left footprints every where linking back to you,

    3) You need to ensure your Registrar data is at the very minimum private, yes Google can check, but you really need to screw things up big time to make that happen ( Eg: Do 100K if fake charges with Google Checkout, Withdraw the cash Close down the deposit account and move on)

    4) Move your site to a new server with a new C Class Ip,

    5) Never use any of the same content, rewrite the CSS Class and Divs, New Image Names, Whatever

    6) Start building new links, but do not use the same pattern you used before,


    7) Let us know how it goes....

    I found this happening a lot to my lower quality sites. Get lots of high quality, relevant, unique content for your money site and you should be reindexed within a month or so. This is just from my experience.

    My site was not a MFA site, it has a lot of good content I am not sure if I am allowed to post the URL here, if anyone knows the Forum rules fully and tell me it's fine I will post it.

    I used an automatic social bookmarking service run by a warrior. Other than this and high profile backlinks run by another popular warrior, rest of the methods were articles, press releases etc

    The domain age is over 2 years old so that's not an issue either.

    Thanks to all of you that replied. I would like to hit the thanks button for each one of you, I do not see the button on these threads. Any ideas why it is not showing?

      Hi DNChamp,

      Did you check to see if you are actually de-indexed? Not ranking isn't the same thing as being de-indexed. If indeed you are de-indexed then you have a problem with your website that must be resolved before Google will reconsider indexing your website. Have you found out what is wrong with your website? If not, there is no reason to ask Google for reconsideration.

      If you haven't already done it, you should verify your website with Google's Webmaster Tools, there you will find some details about any issues that Google found with your website.

          Hi DNChamp,

          Did you look under Diagnostics for any errors or suggestions? Does the Crawl stats show Googlebot activity? Did you check Crawler access under Site Configuration? Have you submitted a sitemap? There's usually some clues in there that will lead you to the source of the problem.

            Ok here is what I found......

            Diagnostics = NO malware, no crawl errors, HTML suggestions says no data avaiable

            Crawl stats per day 23 high, 4 average

            Have a sitemap that reads 15 urls submitted 1 indexed (which one I have no idea)

            Crawler access shows robot .txt file 9 hours ago 200 (success)

            What the hell am I doing wrong. Also just got an email yesterday from Google about the reconsideration of being indexed....here is what they said....

            We received a request from a site owner to reconsider how we index the following site: http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/.
            We've now reviewed your site. When we review a site, we check to see if it's in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines. If we don't find any problems, we'll reconsider our indexing of your site. If your site still doesn't appear in our search results, check our Help Center for steps you can take.

            I got this same message back in 8-11-2010 and still nothing. How can I tell if my domain name alone is blacklisted? Could that alone be the issue?

              Hi DNChamp,

              What about HTML suggestions? What did it say in that section of Diagnostics? Since they indicate that one of your pages have been indexed, the problem may be in your title tags or meta descriptions. There could also be an improper redirect, 302 instead of 301 or something like that. The HTML suggestions is typically where you will see those type of problems reported.

              Since you say you have no data in HTML suggestions then that seems to indicate they have only recently began analyzing your website. Perhaps they are in the process of re-indexing.
