How to get indexed on Google and avoid the Sandbox Theory

What is the Sandbox? Some folk reckon Google has a spam filter for new websites [and why wouldn't they] New websites are tested by Google bots, if you check your website stats, you will see Google and other search engines send various bots with different names to visit your website, these bots run some basic tests, if you pass, you get indexed.

Your website may be filtered by these bots if you have spammed your pages by keyword stuffing [too many of the same keywords]

Or if you have a page full of links to a website or sites on the same server with the same IP address.

You can be filter out by just putting up an “Under Construction” page [Never use an "Under Construction" page!]

My advise is to create 5 or six diffenrent keyword pages with at least 100 words per page, these can include an about us, contact us and products and services pages.

If you are using wordPress, publish your pages then instal and use the sitemaps.xml plugin [don't instal until your pages are published] This will automatically build your site map if you have a writable .htaccess Just doing this will inform Google, Bing etc that you have a website to spider.

Your websites will be queued for spidering by the search engines bots.

Now, during busy periods it can take a few days for the bots to come and index your pages, during Christmas 2010 we were able to get new websites with new domains indexed in under 10 minutes. I didn’t say ranked just indexed; somewhere about page 3.

On occasion you can get a 1st page rank as search engines like fresh content and if your website is fresh with good fresh keyworded content you can get placed on the first page [Notice how fresh "News for" and "Video for" usually rank in the top 10 for popular searches]

A sandbox in computer security is a mechanism for separating running programs. It is used to execute untested code, or untrusted programs from unverified third-parties, suppliers and untrusted users.

Google have many spam filtering systems and other search engines have filters too, it’s not a Sandbox.

You can get indexed by getting links to your website from other websites, blogs and social media bookmarking websites. This method alone will work eventually and sometimes quicker than a week other times a month or so.

The sitemap.xml and a good basic website with good content is just one part of the foundations of SEO.

You have to dig the footings before pouring the concrete and then there is still some work to do before you are off the ground. It’s dirty work!
