Do you have session ids turned off? Session ids in the URL will throw off the Google PR tool bar because it won't recognize the URL.

Google and the other search engines know that site development in most cases takes place outside of the World Wide Web, which means that big authentic sites get launched every day. So there isn't any...

So you are arguing that Google is tracking what is competitive from an organic point of view, and then selecting sites to sanbox just for terms that are "competetive"? Where is the ROI?

Why would...

It's not useless rubbish to people who understand it.

Take a few deep breaths, Google "google sandbox," and you'll find some very good and helpful information from people other than me about how...

I had a site get out of the sandbox in about three weeks . . . I don't think the 6 months is a rule.

The bigger question is: Where are you ranking for the key phrases that you are targeting?

If you find yourself struggling with certain searches that you are testing, you might be going head to...

You have it a little wrong. The sandbox reaslly doesn't apply to adwords. It applies to new sites. The thought is, which hasn't been confirmed by the smug little workers at Google, is that Google is...

If the blogs aren't big then they won't have strong pagerank, which might affect the speed of indexing. Whenever I've launched a big site Google ranks it within two weeks. Yahoo tends to take forever.

We discovered that the bots were getting in...

The bots could be leaving the site as they follow other links. Sometimes it takes weeks for a bot to follow a new thread on a site that it reagularly indexes.

I forgot -- the dmoz is the open directory project. Found at dmoz.org

The one thing that people forget, though, is that it is valuable to submit an entry to the dmoz -- because otherwise they'll simply classify your site, and they might put you in the wrong place. This...

Who gave you the 1-page-a-day strategy? That's wacked.

The bigger the site the better -- make as many pages as you can as soon as you can, and try to have them all link to each other so when a...

You can also simply use a "link:" search in Google. I'm sorry to report that a Google search on "link:www.more4moving.com" turned up bupkus, which means your programming is even blocking bots from...

Your site has landed in what is known as "the sanbox." The crawlers just haven't found you yet, but they will.

Yahoo tends to be the slowest, and Google is the fastest. Getting established sites...
