Google question
 

Is it true that a new domain wont even get looked at by google for like a year?


or can I get around that by getting good hard link trades?

bullshit. The sandbox only affects you if you go crazy with trades. I've got LOADS of top 10s and no sandboxing here

You should google that question.

:1orglaugh

thnx for the input ;)

Just finding out the glory of rss lol

1. Find 3+ year old domain that Google crawls (that?s not in the sandbox)
2. Create subdomain on it (widget.ageddomain.com)
3. Copy entire ?newsite that?s in sandbox? to the subdomain
4. Modify dates on these files to just a few months after the old domain was first registered (make site appear older)
5. Get the subdomain indexed (summon googlebot with an inbound link to widget.ageddomain.com)
6. After the subdomain is indexed, 301 redirect it to the newsite that you want out of the sandbox.

Read that the other day on a few SEO blogs.

heh. thats pretty nifty :thumbsup

YARGH! Generate sitemap every time site is updated. Sandbox may be real, but it's never affected me. Most of my new autoblogger pro site demos get index within a week or so with no linking at all.

Yep.. sitemaps are great.. :-)

register your domain for couples years

so fukin complicated. just let google crawl it

Thats another good one. Register a new domain for like 5 years or so then Google knows you are "serious". Also, yes sitemaps are awesome :thumbsup

For the SE clueless... what do you guys mean by sandbox?

Its where you should go play, n00b.

;)

Getting indexed is the easy part. Getting good SERPs is something else. :2 cents:

you can Google that

The sandbox is the theory that new sites (as in, new domains) are withheld from Google rankings for a period of time to avoid spamming techniques. For example, an SEO registers a whole bunch of domains, builds cookie-cutter sites and then goes crazy getting inbound links to get top positions. The sandbox is designed to avoid that, basically.

I never had any problems with google sandbox ;-)

Yeah, sandbox has nothing to do with indexing. New domains go to sandbox for competitive keywords for some time (usually a bit under year.).
There is no sandbox for uncompetitive keywords.

Nice one

Interresting thread. Thanks for the tips.

no, you can get easily "looked at" no problem.

however, if you plan to seo for competitive terms, domain reg length is a key player.
