Not sure what is really going on as the Mozbar, KW Difficulty tools as well as Open Site Explorer have not been working for the past two weeks for me. I just keep getting 'Unavailable' each time I try and use the KW Difficulty tool.

RE: If the homepage is sandboxed for a keyword is the whole site sandboxed for that keyword?posted in Algorithm Updates
Hi Robert,
This issue relates to a new client we have just taken on. Their site was ranked at the top for major phrases related to their inductry but due to bad link building techniques by their previous SEO company their homepage got sandboxed.
There are still a lot of their inner pages ranking very well, just not the homepage anymore.
I have tried going through their link profile and submitting removal requests but not many are actually being removed.
I have also tried submitting a reconsideration request but just keep getting a message saying the site still does not conform to Google guidelines.
My thinking is, if a lot of their inner pages are still ranking then maybe I can get a new page ranked for the same phrases that has been sandboxed or do you think it is better to start again with a new clean domain.

If the homepage is sandboxed for a keyword is the whole site sandboxed for that keyword?posted in Algorithm Updates
If the homepage of a website has been sandboxed for certain keywords does this mean that the whole site is sandboxed for them keywords or just the homepage?
If a new sub-page was created with quality unique content, would it be possible to get that sub-page ranked for the same keywords that have been sandboxed on the homepage?
I have asked many other SEO professionals this same question and nobody really knows for sure. Do you?
