Two of Pages Have Been SendBoxed

[tonyklu]

Hello,

I was number 1-2 for my local keyword term, but now im nowhere, those two urls dont even show up in Google search results, my other pages DO, so that is obvious Google sendboxed them,  i dont remember doing aggressive non quality link building, and its not a competitive term, since i was number 1 in Google for over 3 months or so

i checked this tool and found that two of my urls are in sendbox http://www.searchenginegenie.com/sandbox-checker.htm

I was never sendboxed before, can you help me how can i get out of this, since its my client's website, and i have to get those pages up as soon as possible

Thank You

Hi Irving,

I did removed robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!

Do i still need to change the URL's and let the old ones 404?

Thanks

Thanks a lot Irving, i just removed them, but why it was there anyways?

i never created this

<meta name="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">robots</a>" content="<a class="external" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">noindex, nofollow</a>" />

so after all this, my pages will get indexed ?

thanks

Oh remove the robots meta nofollow tags from the pages!!! Check your other pages too to make sure you're no unintentionally blocking them.

<meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" />

<meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex, nofollow</a>" />

No i haven't received any emails in web master!

So how can i get this fixed, to get these pages indexed by google again?

Thank you

Hey,

My top keywords are on the first page, im number one for pretty much all of them,

the only keywords im not ranking for are those i optimized for these pages that got sandboxed

these type of links are most likely the culprit. Did you get an email in WMT about unnatural link profile detected?

Hi,

But it looks like the entire site's organic visibility is .. flat line.

See a screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/LDe92AnA

You did had a spike up but then it went flat line again.

It also looks like you only have 4-5 keywords ranking on the second page and those are the best rankings for now.

So it's not only the two pages that have issues...

Am i missing something ?

Hope it helps.

sounds like those pages have been suppressed. probably the link building you did, doesn't have to be aggressive, just has to be too many similar anchor texts and/or sitewides etc.

change the URLs and let the old ones 404. start over with fresh urls.

Hi,

Can you post the domain name and the two urls so we can have a look at the visibility?

Cheers.
