Fun Games To Play While You are In The Google Sandbox

Posted by admin

OK, as many of you know, I got a Google timeout and it earned me time in the Google Sandbox. How long who knows. So if you are reading this, chances are you are in the same boat. You can either play along and dig yourself out of the box or toss in the towel. The point is you have to decide and that decision will require action.

The easiest choice is to toss in the towel and start fresh with a new domain and do things right. Cutt your losses and move on.

The other route is to rebuild and salvage the domain. If this is the route you decide to go, be prepared to make a ton of effort.

The first thing you will need to do is get Google’s trust back. The only way you can do this is by creating a site that people will actually get something out of. Meaning heavy on content, low on ads & revenue. Personally, I’m not putting any ads on my sites that I am rebuilding.

The best way to reclaim your site is to first move your BANS store into a subdirectory called store.

Then, install Wordpress in the root of your site. Then, create a post right after you install it. Make sure the post is keyword optimized and not spammy.

From there, your whole life is about content. Every single day you will need to create a new piece of content.

And that is game number 1 that you can play while in the Google Sandbox. It’s called the content game.

I personally use http://developers.evrsoft.com/seotool/ to help me with my content writing. It’s an SEO tool that help you get your keyword density right. Last tip, your blog posts will need to be 300-450 words long.

Told you this was going to be an investment of time & effort. Good Luck!

   I just set up my first Bans site and it was pretty easy. I used a Wordpress/Bans setup but didn’t run Wordpress for a month as you suggested. I will probably try that for the next one. I can’t see doing a Bans sight without a blog. I get a lot of hits from the Wordpress sections which carries them over to the ’store.’ Great list, bookmarked your site.
