Hi everybody! I’m back with sweet sulumits retsambew. It was a 2 days break (I had to go to my hometown on an urgent call) and no updates on my entry. Well, all I got is my flooded mail box. Not really feeling like making a post here with so many mails pending for reply. But the idea of sandbox and sulumits retsambew seo contest made me to write this.

Well, I was just thinking if the contest entries gonna face the Google’s sandbox effect. As most of us know; most of the new websites would rank sweeter in the beginning (first page) and then dropped to 100 or deeper rankings for 90-120 days in most of the cases.

Now we have certain points -

• Keyword is new (there was nothing existed like “sulumits retsambew” before in Google)
• Almost 70% of the entries would be new websites or blogs
• All are working equally, almost at same time. Nobody is new or old significantly.

So, question is; will these entries face sandbox? My guess.. Yes as well as No.. LOL. That’s not diplomatic at all. Let me try to explain.

Why “Yes”?

Entries may face sandbox effect. Reason is; keyword may be new but 30 % of sites/blogs are not. There are many entries that have joined the contest with old and already reputed sites. Google will give them more weight. At first look, entries with keyword domain may seem to have more weight but sooner or later, they’d have to be dropped back in rankings; may be shorter time. Google may find many entries as spam results. It is quite evident that keyword domains would overpower non-keyword entries. But what matters more is number and quality of backlinks. How frequently the blog/site is updated. How natural and fair the on-page and off-page optimization the entry has.   

Why “No”

Entries may not face any sandbox effect. Because even if some of the sites and blogs may old but they’re competiting to rank for a completely new keyword. So, almost all are taken equally (if Google doesn’t prefer the aged domains). Because the old blogs/sites may have strong foundation online already in terms of backlinks and authority, but now they’d have to build links  for that particular keyword i.e. sulumits retsambew. And that’s what make them rank higher. So, it may be difficult for Google to determine what’s new and what’s old (again if it doesn’t determine the entry with age factor)

Take advantage of sandbox if you fall into it

Well, some of the entries may have a lovely honeymoon with Google on first page and then dropped to somewhere on page 3, 5 or 10. No issues! You can take advantage and keep doing this regularly to ensure your first page or better rankings recovery after 2-3 months (Don’t fret.. Contest is still up for next 4 and half months)

1. Don’t stay idle assuming you’re out. That’s just temporary. Keep adding content to your entry after every 4-5 days if not daily.

2. Try to do some article marketing with 1-2 unique articles every week.

3. Keep submitting to 5-10 quality directoeries daily. TRy to re-write your description little bit.

4. Keep reading others’ blogs and commenting. PLease note, even if you don’t comment with keyword but your name or nick, it’d be counted because your website URL does get attached to a relevant website.

5. Keep building and gathering backlinks from your friends, knowns, or your own websites (as long as they’re on unique IPs) etc.

6. Spread a word about your entry and updates through social bookmarking. Icrease your friend circle at these bookmarking sites. They’d help you spread your entry.. (don’t underestimate that. In a contest each link matters. If evn a single friend helped you get one link, it worths )

7. Try building links with keyword varitaions too; like sulumits retsambew contest, sulumits retsambew seo contest, webmaster stimulus sulumits retsambew. It WORKS. Don’t forget that Google measures value of site, working, links and optimization with more than 200 pointers. You should broaden your ideas.

8. Get one squidoo and hubpages too. Write something interesting and not just fluff.

9. Meanwhile, you can test your skills with yahoo, msn and other search engines.  Let Google take its time to find you and it’ll award you with something encouraging and amazing anytime as a surprise.

10. Be a sport, not a loser. Even if you don’t win, you got to learn lotta stuff around that would help you get many win-win situations in this online business later.

If you’re entering the contest after 1-2 months, prefer not to register a new domain or blog, rather enter with an old one. It’d give weightage and better results.

Well, I’m really feeling sleepy and tired after this long traveling. I want to write little more but may continue with a different concept next time. My next post will have some contest updates too. All I saw is # and #2 stable positions. All others are fluctuating still. Will cover everything new and latest in next post. Keep an eye and thanks for visiting again.

Chill & cheers!
