We know that it may sound very disappointing. But don’t you think you should figure out the critical factor that is keeping you from achieving your goal?

We do understand that there could be various factors such as web design, marketing campaign or overall approach contributing towards your success as long as search engine optimization is concerned.

It is therefore, essential for understanding how Google ranks your websites. What are the reasons that can be the cause for getting your website hold back by the google? We are essentially talking about Google sandbox. If you are well aware of the approach for dealing with Google Sandbox, the result could be far better than becoming frustrated for no good reason.

What is Google Sandbox?

Google Sandbox is a filter in place for new websites. It is incorporated to bar the websites from ranking, specifically those containing competitive keywords. This provision is placed to make site become more established and to allow Google to determine the overall content and purpose of the website.

Hundreds and thousands of websites are launched daily, and many of them are built in such a way that they try to manipulate the criteria set by Google ranking to get more clicks. Google want a website to be competent enough to rank amongst top websites. Therefore, Google Sandbox automatically filter out sites containing scam content.

Google Sandbox Existence – A Reality or Myth?

Many people seem to be arguing about the real existence of Google Sandbox. Although, Google has never confirmed the presence of Google Sandbox, however, there are a lot of reasons that are sufficient to make one believe that Google Sandbox does exist. It helps Google in search engine optimization.

Gossips around the world concerning the existence of Google Sandbox erupted recently after Gary Illyes tweeted and denied its existence.

We should understand that Google doesn’t need to confirm the existence of Google Sandbox, it should automatically be understood that sites containing useless content will never be ranked good by the Google until they believe them to be appropriate to display.

Google Sandbox And Its Impact On My Site?

It all depends on competitive keywords density. People try to use more competitive keywords to make their websites top ranked. Google Sandbox filters out low-quality sites but sometimes website containing rich content may also become the victim of Google Sandbox.

The most prominent impact is concerned with getting more or less clicks. When the Google Sandbox traps your website you are likely to get fewer clicks since your site is not going to appear as frequently as it could have appeared outside the Sandbox. It is quite apparent that if your website is not being displayed when people are searching for it, you are less likely to get as many clicks as you deserve. It may appear to you that you are not on the right track as far as selection of competitive keywords is concerned. This may not necessarily be the case though.

Besides following best practices concerning SEO rules, you may still get stuck in the Sandbox, and resultantly you will receive less traffic diverted towards your website as compared to your expectations.

Why Google Has A Filter In Place Such As Sandbox?

Google has Sandbox in place because your first impression means a lot to Google. When you launch a website, it appears in Google search until they are not sure about the quality of your site. Google may take some time speculating the way you dress up your website, as they want to make sure if your website really deserves to be ranked amongst top sites.

Many people deliberately use false tactics to ditch Google search engine to have more views. This leads to a bad quality of search for the public. Although, they may become successful in catching more traffic as compared to those website having rich and meaningful content. But this is not going to work for long.

Google knows it very well, and therefore to maintain the integrity of the search engine and make it more useful for people, Google filters out sites that have no or less meaningful resources. So there is no need to panic, once Google has identified your site being content rich, it will automatically start popping up your site in search engine and would rank you reasonably.

How Long Does the Google Sandbox Filter Last?

As a common thought, it is estimated that Google Sandbox lasts for a maximum of Six months.

The duration of its existence depends upon some of the following factors.

• Content of your Website
• Keywords Density
• Your Website Niche

Google Sandbox targets different niches in different timings using different tactics. If your website falls into a category of following many black hat rules for SEO then it is likely that your website is going to stay in a Google Sandbox a bit longer as compared to websites practicing white hat SEO rules.

It is therefore always suggested to stop wasting your time in predicting how long your website is going to stay in the sandbox. Instead, your focus should be on maintaining good SEO practices to avoid your site from getting trapped by the sandbox next time. Make sure to do the best, and we believe you’ll be successful for sure in getting more traffic than ever before.

Five (05) Ways to Keep Your Site Safe From Google Sandbox

Below we have mentioned five ways that you can use to avoid Google Sandbox.

• Always make sure that you are following best SEO practices
• Always try to add high-quality links to your website
• Always make sure to keep your website updated with latest and relevant content
• Always keep updating the last modification tag on your web pages since it reflects Google that your site is being regularly updated
• It is always a great idea to use robots.txt and sitemap.xml files on your website, since doing so make it easy to understand your website for Google crawlers and ultimately this will increase your chance of getting out of the sandbox earlier than expected

Remember doing everything perfectly still, doesn’t guarantee you that your website is going to be ranked well on the top.

Black Hat Rules For SEO

Let us tell you a little about Black Hat SEO. As the name suggests, these are the tactics that are used by people to manipulate search engines and get their website ranked amongst top webpages falsely.

Some typical examples of Black HAT SEO include word stuffing, sneaky redirects, links manipulation or automated content.

White Hat Rules For SEO

These are simple rules for following best SEO practices. These rules are used by web developers to make their site top ranked.

Although, following White Hat SEO rules are more difficult as compared to those Black Hat SEO rules but their results are long-lasting.

Conclusion

Since now you know what it is all about Google Sandbox and SEO practices; therefore we would like to suggest you practice best SEO rules always to keep the quality of research up to the mark for everyone.

Following White Hat Rules will surely prevent your site from getting trapped by the Google Sandbox, and soon you will see your site being ranked amongst top websites.

Well, I hope you don’t. Because recovery can be quite hard, most of all after Panda and Penguin.

Following the official content guidelines will “theoretically” ensure you to avoid any penalties, but you know (most of all if you are blogging since some years) that respecting all the rules is not that easy.

Here is a list of 10 blog habits to help you being penalized by Google, so be sure to avoid them!

1. Server Downtime or Slow Response

Avoid this like a plague: the search engine spiders do not like to miss a bit in the web.

So pay attention to the response time of the server where you hosted your blog.

I use HostGator and I have a dedicated server. Yes, it may cost a bit, but my online activities have expanded to a certain level that I needed to make the upgrade.

The response time of Hostgator servers is very low: 0,1-0,2s and I’m very satisfied on uptime:

I use Pingdom to monitor in real time my sites, so I receive an email with a notification if my server goes offline.

As you can see in the image (FillMyMoneyBox is one of my niche blogs) server is up since 2 months straight.

2. Duplicate Content

Another thing that you must avoid, as it is very negative for your positioning in the SERPs.

The time that you invest in producing great content, will be repaid later with visits and traffic over time.

Copy and paste does not pay, absolutely. Now even less, given that Google severely penalizes those who do.

Be sure to use these free tools to check if your content is copied and how to protect it.

3. Low Outbound Links Quality

A high quality website does not link to sites of low quality or even worse, to spam sites.

Be sure to control not also the links included in your articles, but also the ones in the comments.

You may want to use sometimes the “rel=”nofollow” tag for the outbound links in your content that you do not want the search engines will count.

I suggest you a wonderful plugin to manage the links in your articles: “Outbound Link Manager”.

It is a fantastic free plugin that let you monitors outbound links in your posts and pages, easily allowing you to add or remove a nofollow tag, update anchor texts, or remove links altogether (in a bulk).

Also on all your archived posts, that is pretty amazing (and save you a lot of time from doing it by yourself).

4. Duplicate Title Tags or Meta Tags

For a proper on-page SEO optimization your title tag, description tag and keywords tag must be unique for each page of your website.

I suggest you to use properly Google Webmaster Tools.

You can monitor the status of your site, like the research queries, sitemap, errors of server, backlinks and you may also check suggestions of pages with duplicated or missing meta tags that you should modify or improve.

5. Using Link Farm

You should also avoid link farm. Link popularity is fairly built, although it is challenging.

Just think to what happened to BuildmyRank: the big overwhelming majority of their network has been deindexed by Google.

So building your own private blog network is quite risky, think hard before doing it!

6. On-page Spam Techniques : Keywords Stuffing or Hidden Text

This is quite an old technique, but of course is still bad for your SEO.

This system was abused years ago from many webmasters. The practice consisted in adding a lot of keywords at the end of the page, hiding the text, camouflaging (cloaking) it with the same color of the page, so the visitors will not see it, but it was considered by search engines crawlers.

These techniques, if discovered, will lead to penalties or even the exclusion/ban of your website from search engines.

Google has become quite good in checking these techniques.

7. Do Not Create a Sitemap

A XML sitemap is a file that lists all the pages of your site and gives search engines other important information, as for instance how often you add content, which is helpful in getting new pages crawled quickly.

A sitemap is too important for a blog for neglecting its creation and you should be surprised in discover that many sites still do not have it.

Creating a sitemap on your WordPress site is really easy: I use  “Google XML Sitemaps” plugin. Just install it and follow the instructions.

Let Google and other search engines know that you have it, using Google Webmaster Tools.

8. Your URL is Too Long

When you choose a domain name for your new blog, you should avoid long URLs, if possible.

Avoid hyphens, dashes or numbers, as the name may look “spammy”.

Try to take an easy to remember name, choose a dot.com when available (or at least .net or .org), pick a name easy to type, avoid copyright infringement and include your keywords in the name.

9. Weight of the Page More Than 100 Kbytes

Many spiders stop reading a page when the amount of bytes reaches a given value. This value is typically around 100 Kbytes.

Moreover, people on internet are “lazy” and they do not want to wait more than 8-10 seconds to display a page or a website. 3-4 seconds is already a high amount of time!

And as you surely know, the loading speed is a factor that Google consider in search engine results.

I use a cache plugin on most of my sites. It improves the speed and user experience of your site. Add browser, page, object and database caching as well as minify and content delivery network (CDN) to WordPress.

Check the speed score of your site with this free tool offered from Google: Developers.google.com/pagespeed and receive suggestions on how you can improve your blog.

10. Using Flash or Javascript

There are still problems of proper placement of content created with Flash. Websites created in Flash are not search engine friendly.

The spiders have trouble reading also codes in JavaScript. So, use the HTML. The same goes for Ajax technology for Java applets and ActiveX controls.

Have you found something that can help you improve your site?

Do you have some other suggestions?

Now if you search online, there is a lot of conflicting advice on the subject – some of it good and some of it bad.

The only tips that you should be following are the ethical SEO tips that actively help your site, without abusing the system.

SEO Has A Bad Name

For some people, SEO has a pretty poor reputation online.  It can be seen as a way to somehow “cheat” the system or gain an unfair advantage over rivals.

This isn’t helped by the fact that there are some people (a small minority) that do try to abuse the system to further their own cause.

This has led to some to even suggest that search engine optimization be called something different.

It Can Actually Be Good, When Used Right

The simple fact is that SEO can actually be used ethically when done right.  Search engine optimization is simply a way of getting your content to the most people possible.

Search engines are the number one method of driving traffic to a site, so it makes sense to make the most of them.

People have given a bad name to SEO by using negative techniques (or Black-Hat SEO) that abuse search engine rules, such as; keyword stuffing, invisible text, doorway pages, etc.

They do this to try to boost their rankings quickly, but the joke is on them as these methods only tend to work for the very short term, if at all!

Thankfully, Google and others are cracking down on websites that abuse these rules, which is great for the rest of us that pride ourselves for following the rules.

You have to remember that search engine optimization is a long term strategy for your site.  There is no “quick” way or “short cut” to success, so you are better off optimizing your site for long term results.

So What Is Ethical SEO

Ethical search engine optimization is a term to describe all the good techniques and tips that you can use that are not in breach of search engine rules (or White-Hat SEO).

There is nothing wrong with optimizing your posts and pages to rank higher, as long as you do it right.

All search engines want to do is provide the best quality content to their users, as this is how they make money.  To do this, they need to look at sites (by crawling them) and establish what a post/page is about.

Optimizing your pages helps search engines to identify what your content is about, therefore enabling them to show it to the right people who are searching for it.

Ethical SEO Tactics

So now we know that ethical SEO is the right way to go, how do you go about optimizing your posts?

One of the key aspects of SEO is keyword placement.

Placing keywords and keyphrases in certain places of your site helps search engines to identify what your post is about. This is called ‘on-page SEO’ and can refer to things like;

• Page Titles
• Meta Descriptions
• Subtitles (H1, H2, H3 Tags)
• URL Address
• Image Alt Tags
• Internal & External Link Anchor Text (and the links themselves)

Whilst these are all good places to include your keywords/keyphrases, it is VITALLY important that you don’t overdo it.  Don’t place too many keywords in these places, as you risk keyword stuffing, which is bad!

A good rule of thumb is that keywords should not exceed about 3% of your overall article.  Think of your keywords as simple sign posts that help tell people what your post is about.

That way, you don’t need to go overboard with using them.

A great WordPress plugin that you can use to help you monitor your keyword density and other on-page SEO is the ‘WordPress SEO by Yoast’ plugin.

Now SEO is not all about keyword placement.  Search engines also look at things like post frequency, social media interaction, and PageRank.

But for the purpose of this post, this is what I will be focusing on.

It’s All About Being Relevant

Another good ethical rule to remember is that things should always be relevant to your content.  Whatever keywords, keyphrases, internal links, external links, videos, images, etc. that you include in your posts, they should be relevant to what you have just written.

For example, if I were to write an article about a certain actor, let’s say Matt Damon, then linking to reviews of movies that he has been in would be totally relevant, therefore justifiable.

If on the other hand I started including links to some car selling site, that wouldn’t be very relevant.

Search engines look at the terms, phrases and links that you use in a post to see if they are all connected in some way.

If they aren’t (as in the example that we just looked as) then they may suspect some dodgy behaviour going on on your site.

If you think about it logically though, you only want to be providing the best quality content to your visitors anyway, so why would you use/link to unrelated things.

Summary

Ethical search engine optimization isn’t too hard to get your head around.  Just remember to follow search engine guidelines and not abuse the system.

It can actually be more beneficial to concentrate solely on writing for your readers, as ultimately it is them that will determine whether your site is a success or not.

Plan out a long-term SEO strategy for your site and work at optimizing your site ethically.  It is much better to work with Google rather than against them!

What other ethical SEO tips do you use that I haven’t mentioned here?  Do you even do SEO on your site and if not, why?

Do you have a positive or negative view of SEO?  Please let us know your views by leaving a comment below!

But do you know that your website’s content should not only consist of text. It must also contain pictures for more appeal.

Then again, this is not the only purpose of placing photos. You can increase the likelihood of driving traffic to your site through these.

“How”, you may ask. The answer is simple—optimise them for Google Images. This way, you can rank for related queries.

So how does it work? Check out these ideas.

1. Place keywords

Like on-page optimisation, you need to place the right terms in the following:

• Filename – You cannot expect the spiders to spot your content if its name consists of digits and/or alphabet letters such as DG1234.jpg. Generally, the users look for info by typing in a word or phrase in the search box. You are more likely to rank in the top rows (given that Google shows one page for the results) by creating a filename such as google-image-search.jpg or seo-tips.jpg.

•  Alt attribute – The main reason you require an alternative text is to help the spiders with easy indexing and crawling of relevant words, especially since they cannot detect image content. When you place keywords or key phrases (with each word separated by a dash), you have a greater likelihood of ranking high in the results.

On the other hand, it allows you to provide people with visual impairment a chance to understand your content. How? The screen reader (software application) interprets the information you added to the photos.

• Description – While your pictures get along just fine without this, the users will have more idea what your content offers if you come up with a brief and illustrative phrase.

2. Use JPG as filename extension

According to an optimisation website that experimented on various extensions, JPG images performed well in SERPs. Additionally, the administrators stated that this outcome was maybe because you can compress the photos to lessen page load time and that JPG is readable by all browsers.

The site owner also suggested that you stick with 1-60 kilobyte since anything beyond this tended to slow down the page’s loading speed.

3. Publish unique, fresh, and high-quality pictures

Doesn’t this tip say enough already?

Well, let me elaborate its importance. By adding your content with such images, your webpage looks different from the billions of other pages online.

So can you be original?

Simple, choose those which you have taken or created yourself. You can get ideas from your Pinterest account or you can use Photoshop. However, you have to remember that this strategy is mostly applicable if you are blogging.

If you have an e-commerce website, you can take pictures of your products or you can hire a professional photographer to provide you with high-quality shots.

As a bonus method, you can use Google Trends to find out which photos rank well in search results.

4. Upload several images

I’m guessing you re-read this statement, right? And you are probably thinking that I might be wrong.

However, I am not.

Remember the SEO site I was telling you a while ago, its team also discovered that a page with plenty of photos performed better in SERPs compared to those with one or two. So, it goes to show that more is preferable.

As a note though, you must ensure that you follow the first three tips to boost the likelihood of ranking. What is more, take advantage of lazy load or super cache if you use WordPress as your blogging platform.

Final Insights

What do you think? Are these tactics easy?

Now, you have to know that these are not the only things you can do to generate traffic through Google Images. If you ideas apart from the ones I have given, feel free to share it with us.
