NEU » the existence of a Google San

Ok DJ Chark Womens Jersey , so over the past month or so I've been collecting various search engine optimization questions from all of you. Today, I'm going to answer what was the most frequently asked question over the past month.


You guessed it... What is the Google Sandbox Theory and how do I escape it? When you finish reading this lesson, you'll be an expert on the good 'ole Google Sandbox Theory and you'll know how to combat its effects. So, pay close attention. This is some very important stuff.


Before I start explaining what the Google Sandbox theory is, let me make a few things clear:


The Google Sandbox theory is just that Gardner Minshew Womens Jersey , a theory, and is without official confirmations from Google or the benefit of years of observation.


The Google Sandbox theory has been floating around since summer 2004, and has only really gained steam after February 4, 2005 , after a major Google index update (something known as the old Google dance).


Without being able to verify the existence of a Sandbox Authentic Gardner Minshew II Jersey , much less its features, it becomes very hard to devise strategies to combat its effects.


Almost everything that you will read on the Internet on the Google Sandbox theory is conjecture, pieced together from individual experiences and not from a wide-scale objective controlled experiment with hundreds of websites (something that would obviously help in determining the nature of the Sandbox, but is inherently impractical given the demand on resources).


Thus, as I'll be discussing towards the end Authentic Ryquell Armstead Jersey , it's important that you focus on ?good' search engine optimization techniques and not place too much emphasis on quick ?get-out-of-jail' schemes which are, after all, only going to last until the next big Google update.


What is the Google Sandbox Theory?


There are several theories that attempt explain the Google Sandbox effect. Essentially, the problem is simple. Webmasters around the world began to notice that their new websites, optimized and chock full of inbound links Authentic Quincy Williams II Jersey , were not ranking well for their selected keywords.


In fact, the most common scenario to be reported was that after being listed in the SERPS (search engine results pages) for a couple of weeks, pages were either dropped from the index or ranked extremely low for their most important keywords.


This pattern was tracked down to websites that were created (by created I mean that their domain name was purchased and the website was registered) around March 2004. All websites created around or after March 2004 were said to be suffering from the Sandbox effect.


Some outliers escaped it completely, but webmasters on a broad scale had to deal with their websites ranking poorly even for terms for which they had optimized their websites to death.


Conspiracy theories grew exponentially after the February 2005 update, codenamed ?Allegra' (how these updates are named I have no clue) Authentic Josh Oliver Jersey , when webmasters began seeing vastly fluctuating results and fortunes. Well-ranked websites were loosing their high SERPS positions, while previously low-ranking websites had gained ground to rank near the top for their keywords.


This was a major update to Google's search engine algorithm, but what was interesting was the apparent ?exodus' of websites from the Google Sandbox. This event gave the strongest evidence yet of the existence of a Google Sandbox, and allowed SEO experts to better understand what the Sandbox effect was about.


Possible explanations for the Google Sandbox effect


A common explanation offered for the Google Sandbox effect is the ?Time Delay' factor. Essentially, this theory suggests that Google releases websites from the Sandbox after a set period of time. Since many webmasters started feeling the effects of the Sandbox around March-April 2004 and a lot of those websites were 'released' in the ?Allegra' update Authentic Jawaan Taylor Jersey , this ?website aging' theory has gained a lot of ground.


However, I don't find much truth in the ?Time Delay' factor because by itself, it's just an artificially imposed penalty on websites and does not improve relevancy (the Holy Grail for search engines). Since Google is the de facto leader of the search engine industry and is continuously making strides to improve relevancy in search results, tactics such as this do not fit in with what we know about Google.


Contrasting evidence from many websites has shown that some websites created before March 2004 were still not released from the Google Sandbox, whereas some websites created as late as July 2004 managed to escape the Google Sandbox effect during the ?Allegra' update. Along with shattering the ?Time Delay' theory Authentic Josh Allen Jersey , this also raises some interesting questions. This evidence has led some webmasters to suggest a 'link threshold' theory; once a website has accumulated a certain amount of quantityquality inbound links, it is released from the Sandbox.


While this might be closer to the truth, this cannot be all there is to it. There has been evidence of websites who have escaped the Google Sandbox effect without massive link-building campaigns. In my opinion, link-popularity is definitely a factor in determining when a website is released from the Sandbox but there is one more caveat attached to it.


This concept is known as 'link-aging'. Basically, this theory states that websites are released from the Sandbox based on the ?age' of their inbound links. While we only have limited data to analyze Authentic Yannick Ngakoue Jersey , this seems to be the most likely explanation for the Google Sandbox effect.


The link-ageing concept is something that confuses people, who usually consider that it is the website that has to age. While conceptually, a link to a website can only be as old as the website itself, yet if you have don't have enough inbound links after one year, common experience has it that you will not be able to escape from the Google Sandbox.
