Yes, that's true, my site (the one in my sig) has hundreds of backlinkes in all other search engines ( yahoo, altavista, alltheweb...) and no one in google, though it was indexed by google few weeks ago, the site itself was created little more than a month ago.I'm a programmer myself, but I'm not a big specialist in SEO or other related stuff, so would you please have a look at my source code and let me know if anything is wrong with it from googlebot's point of view. I guess something is wrong since google refused to put adsence on my site.When do you think I'll recieve a PR? Thanks a lot johndoe wrote:Thanks for reply, that's what I'm doing - most relevant links are clean, natural reciprocal links from sites with the same theme (10-20 at least are like these). Well, I guess I'll just habe to wait for google. But 3-6 months seems realy a lot... I came to the first 10 positions on my keywords at msn and yahoo in just few weeks thanks for a tipWHat is Google "sand box" exetly?Johndoe, You dont have backlinks in google because the next BL Update Prediction is around Aug 16. You will recieve a PR probably at the end of October. And about the sandbox Boohlick already said "Its a google filter for new sites.. It could take up between 3 - 6 months." But sandbox does not affect your pr only the appearance in google search engine for your particular keywords.i_am_dhaval wrote:Now google even refused to put adsense on my site, do you have any idea why?johndoe wrote:Quote:I don't agree with you. First of all to get 100 good PR backlinks for your new site in the first few days sounds almost impossible. I mean good PR backlinks 3+. Second one to be somewhere in top 1000 is equal to nothing. I did it too with some sites and the result is the same. You come up in google after 5-6 mounts. So I think sandbox exist and it is intended to stop the spammers from making 10-20 sites spam 10000-20000 links and go straight to the first page.Stoma wrote:Bompa,About the top 1000 i'v got your point but to be honest i never check more than top 100.About the backlinks there are many ways and google knows it. Not by hand of course
