Q about google sandbox
 

hi,
is think my site is in the sandbox cause it isn't ranked anymore like before
ex: my domain = www.mydomain.com
1) if i search for "mydomain" in google it isn't listed anymore, sites that i trade with DO show my domain, my site has always been ranked #1
2) if is search for "mydomain" + free sex --> i'm listed on the other page

my questions :
a) is this the google sandbox or another filter ?
b) i know it takes about 2-12 months before it's back to normal but can a website go twice in the sandbox?
c) i thought a site could only go in the sandbox for a certain period of time after it is submitted. How long?

i hope my questions are a bit clear :)

u can read up on the sandbox here


thx in advance

i forgot:
my pr dropped to 0 :disgust

i know this is not an seo forum but i thought someone would know :)

**bump**

don't be a dick and start giving examples with "my domain"
if you want help post your domain or make your question shorter/more amusing

Sorry, i may have misread your post - is your site listed in the index? Use allinurl: [site_domain] to see. If you are indexed then you aren't banned and possibly suffering a sandbox effect or ...

I have had some sites do the same thing as yours, but it typically only lasts a few days to maybe a week (never much longer). At first I panicked and made all kinds of changes, etc. thinking I was dumped for suspicious linking, etc. Sooner or later, though, they all came back up.

I have had at least one site I can think of disappear 5+ times and then reappear right back where it was ranked before. My assumption is Googlebot went to index it and something happened to make it think the site was either down or moved, etc.

In the end, I just don't panic, don't change anything and wait until the site comes back on - which it always does.

The sandbox does not exhist!

sure it does, it only makes sense for google to use something like that to prevent new sites from popping up and putting up shit
