The Google Sandbox
Submitted by simonyarwood on Tue, 07/18/2006 - 21:50.
I have been reading about this subject, for months now, I have done all I can to get ranked on Google, this isn't going to happen, it seems that ALL my sites appear to be in this sandbox, I mentioned that I had only index pages listed, sandboxed sites are indexed by Google, but have a hard time ranking for keyword phrases, no matter how competitive they are.,
Now, Yahoo, I am amazed at how fast they list the sites, I registered one domain name, created the site and got it to show in the Yahoo search in an incredibly fast 10 days, and it wasn't just the index page, Yahoo listed all the pages from this site. :D

The good news is that MSN is even easier!
The downside - Google has more traffic :cry:
Is it possible that your site would be listed well for less searched keywords and sandboxed for more popular keywords.
For example, I have a new site googleadsensebooks.com is ranked #4 in Google for search term "Google Adsense Books", yet I can't find it listed under the search term "Google Adsense".
Any ideas on this?
Thanks

Hi Matt,
Have you tried typing "Google Adsense Books" into the Google search bar with quotes? It returns 171 results for me. "Googe Adsense" returns almost 3.5 million. Searching this way returns the pages that are actually targeting those KWs (competing for them).
Wordtracker uses their KEI value to indicate competition for KWs. That's why it's always best to start out targeting high KEI (low competition) KWs when building pages. Just makes it easier to get those pages ranked faster.
