Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, I am new to Moz and I'm finding using Open Explorer a real pain and frustrating, not only is it really slow, but for the past couple of days I've been getting "error fetching your data" messages when trying to show links etc.

Is this just generally what its like or is there another problem?

Thanks both for your comment, and feedback.

I have read on a few occassions that others are experiencing a kind of sandbox effect for new pages, regardless of root domain authority, on page or off page SEO/links. I suspect this sandbox/holding period is longer depending on the competition and content type. E.g, you would expect fresh news or viral content to be able to rank pretty quickly given it is time dependent if it is to be of value to the searcher/web user.

This article dated July 14 explains that there have experienced an approx 30 day "holding" period: http://seotraffichacks.com/respond-googles-new-30-day-links-sandbox/

Hello...I'm hoping to get some advice or guidance regarding the following.

My website has gone from a 30 page site about loans, to a 500 page site covering a much wider range of products such as mortgages and other more specific loan related pages.

All the new pages were made live at the same time, and I've been through GWT tools to add pages with in the Google fetch and most have been indexed fine.

My question is, how should I expect Google to treat all of these new pages? The site has changed massively and many of the new pages are at pages 3-4 for their key terms.

Will Google treat these new pages in the same way it may a new domain, e.g. it could be potenitally a couple of months before the pages start to rank better?

I appreciate that the terms are very competitive.

Thanks!
