        Why do you think the old site was in the illusive sandbox?

        Is the old site still indexed in Google SERPs?

          I believe the site was sandboxed because I couldn't find my site anywhere in the serps under any keyword.. I did the SITE: search on google and it shows about 40 of my pages but I deindexed the site 2 days ago and nothing shows up when i do the site: search now As i plan on moving my site to either a domain that has a PR1 and is in the yahoo directory and related directly to my niche but if that guy doesn't respond Im gonna move the website to a pr0 domain that is 1 and half years old.. The links i did for the current 2 month old domain were not spammy they were from some forums related to my niche and a couple of high pr directories and showed up in google webmaster tools but I was still unable to find my site anywhere in the serps.. my niche is the payday loan niche I read that google automatically sandboxes new domains in saturated niches and I believe that is what happened to my site

    Don't do any black hat/spammy stuff and a new domain should avoid the sandbox fine

    what leads you to believe it was sandboxed?

    what back linking tactics have you been engaging in on that website?

    ....You need do identify why you've had your site sandboxed before starting your new site, otherwise it might just happen again ... site age doesn't come into it though really.

    It all depends if the domain has been sandboxed in the past, if its not then you will be ok as long as you avoid putting spammy content onto it.

    It will get past their sandbox, but if you change the content 100% then maybe not.

    You get more points for an older domain anyway so go by that more.

      These sandbox threads never cease to amaze me.

      The question, "will an aged domain stay out the sandbox,"
      is quite a question.

      If you say yes, then you believe in a sandbox and also
      believe that an old site can never be beaten. Completely
      false.

      If you say no, you still believe in a sandbox and refuse to
      believe that sites cannot overtake yours unless google
      piles sand over you. Completely false.

      Why do you people keep looking under the same rock?

      An aged domain does not mean a thing in and of itself.
      There has to be more to it.

    Will buying an aged domain help you avoid the sandbox?
    Check that the aged domain is in the sandbox or not and check the backlink quality before purchasing.

    No, it will not in my experience. I have a bought a domain that's 14 years old, never expired and it still got sandboxed.

    Domain age is just one of the variables Google put in their ranking algorithm.

    In my experience, it doesn't ALWAYS avoid the sandbox, but around 80% of the time an aged domain does the trick for me. It may be something to do with it having been sandboxed in the past, something you don't really know when you're buying an aged domain from someone else.

    Hi,

    I recently bought a domain name saltedchef.com (just from godaddy) and I noticed on the wayback machine (https://web.archive.org/web/*/saltedchef.com) that it says it was indexed in 2011. The index was just one time and it was a redirect to another page Asaltedchef.com. I used SEO Quake and it says its from 2011. Could this in anyway be consider an aged domain? I just own a small personal chef business so im not trying to get a large PR rank but I just want to know if it will help a little bit.

    It will help, but you cannot do any blackhat link spamming or it will be sandboxed regardless.

    An aged domain should help you avoid the sandbox if you buy one with high quality links and natural backlinks. Authority links come before age when buying aged domains. A 20 years old domain with no high quality backlinks is as useful as a 1 day old domain.

    Yes.

    But you don`t have to even invest into PR1+ domains (:
    Even PR0 domains (aged with some backlink history) will avoid sandbox.

    I made a tests on 1 year old PR0 website , created subdomain on them and tried to rank those subdomain wich churn & burn ,I saw first results after 5 days, and ranked on the 1st page on my main term within 3 weeks, in the meantime ranked several lower competition keyphrases. So age of the domain and some backlinks history seems these days cruicial if you want to avoid sandbox

    It would only help if you build a website with the same topic as the old website. Otherwise, better to get a fresh domain.
