Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

But, i got a few links only about 15 links maybe, in that i got about 7 links for "Hemorrhoids Treatments". But they are good links only, not spammy links. And i haven't received any warnings from Google in my webmasters central. So, if the problem is due to high matching of my anchor text, shall i dilute the anchor text now with doing more links with broad match keywords. I think it will dilute my anchor texts for my domain. What do you think?

• I have submitted to only two directories, which are quality ones, botw.org and v7n directory.
• No warnings from Google.
• Ya, i will do that thing, will get more quality content for that keyword
• You mean competitors links research? Suppose check this site: www.hdtreatment.com link profile. He got a press release from prweb and few directories. Yet he was ranking good. My link profile is far better than him. But i was completely out of index and not in the results for that keyword anymore.

I can get more quality links, but whats the point of getting links when i am not even in the index anymore. I dont understand what might be the problem.

Yesterday, i used to rank good for "Home remedies for hemorrhoids" earlier, now i am out of index for this keyword also. It was frustrating for me, as my hardwork was getting wasted and not worth even. If this is the case, how i can put more effort on it, when i dont see any positive results. I done no spammy work, still i got hit by a penality, where check this site link profile: www.greencowseo.com he hacked thousands of websites and placed his link there, and now he was ranking on top for the most competitive keywords like Seo Company etc. But Google cant catch these guys who are employing spammy techniques, where here i am doing pretty legal ways of link building and following guidelines, and writing my own content, yet i was under penality...Hmm

Hi Burr,

Thanks for your suggestions. You gave me breath really..I am really struggling hard to rank my website for those keywords. But for my current link profile, atleast i should be in the index for they keyword "hemorrhoids treatment" searched. But i am not at all in the top 100 pages. This makes me worried. Earlier 1 week back, i used to be on #7 page for the keyword "Hemorrhoids Treatments". I thought i might need more strong links, for that i tried getting more retweets. Within few days, i was out of index for that keyword. I am not even in 100 pages. So i thought i was hit by sandbox.

Do you have any idea, on why this has happened? A reply would be appreciated.

Yes, i built links to directories, web 2.0 links, article sites, press releases. But all these things kept me under Sandbox. Ok, i will extend my domain to another 4 years, but do you think it will really help me in getting out of sandbox? And lastly, i only left with guest posting, i know it is hard, but i will try to approach people in my industry and ask for guest posting.

Hi,

Thanks for providing a lot of valuable information above. Yes my domain is fairly new, just 1 month old, so i think i am under google's sandbox. But how long Google will keep my site under sandbox. Is there any way to get out of it quickly.

Ok, i will try for guest posting then, maybe i will get in touch with skyrocket guys also.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for suggestions. I will stop writing content on article sites and also stop directory submissions also. But what type links should i get now? I dont find any other sources for getting links..Can you give me some examples so that i will proceed further..

But, btw, you didn't tell yet, whether i am hit by sandbox or not, if so, how long it will take and how do i get out of sandbox?

waiting for your update on this.

There is a sandbox, and there will be chances to get hit by you, if you are competing for extreme competitive keywords. Then Google will put you under sandbox. As far as i heard on other forums, they got recovered from sandbox from 3-6 months.

Hi,

This is my website: http://goo.gl/fl5a5

I am competing for high competitive keyword : Hemorrhoids Treatment

But i started my link building slowly. Like i started with social engagement first. Getting Facebook likes about 500 and tweets i got about 700 retweets in a month. Later i went for building links, i personally wrote 2 squidoo lenses, and wrote about 4 articles for high popular article sites like ezine, amazines, apsense etc. and got approved. And now, i wrote a press release and submitted to prweb, sbwire and pressdoc website. Got 3 press releases. And now, i submitted my site to 2 web directories botw.org and v7n directory and got approved in them. Later i submitted my site to 10 social bookmarking sites manually. Thats it in 1 month. In the mean time, i used to rank for the term Hemorrhoids Treatment on 7th page. Now i am not even in 50th page, completely out of index for that term in the search. But i am still ranking for other keywords.

My site has 100% unique content, i built my links with extreme carefull and got quality links only. I have varied my anchor text as much as possible. Still i dont understand why i am not even in top 50 pages atleast. Am i hit by Google's Sandbox?? If so, could someone help in getting out of sandbox?

Will be waiting for your answers.

Hi, I am onto link building for my blog. i heard article directories are not much effective than guest blogging. So i wanted to go for guest blogging, But i am unable find them. I want to write guest blogs on health related sites. But could some one point me where i can find quality guest blogs where i contribute a guest post.

Will be waiting for your replies.

Hi Matt, Yes i have copied a website design but added my own content to it. Actually its not his design also, its a wordpress theme named "lifestyle ". Actually i didn't find any better theme than this. I will change the theme as soon as possible when i get a better one. And regarding website review, you haven't given any info about how should i improve my website ranking further. Thanks.

Hi, I recently developed this website: http://goo.gl/fl5a5 And started link building to that website and getting some very good links so far. So far ok, but i would request some experienced guys here to post some reviews and help me with your suggestions so that i can rank better. Its been a month since i started link building to this site. .

PS: I have cloned my competitors site with unique content. Will this becomes an issue? You can check my competitors site by Google'in my site entire title. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Hi, I built a niche site yesterday, the domain was 1 week old. What is the safest way to do link building? I.e How many links should i do in order to be in safe? So far, i've concentrated on building my social profile. Like getting as many retweets as possible. Slowly getting facebook likes and added few youtube videos with my link in it. Now i am on to link building. I will only do legit link building methods. Currently i am gonna get 2 press releases. But can you tell me no. of links i must get in a day.

PS: The keyword i am competing is highly competitive.
