Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the best way to generate targeted traffic. It is the best source of high conversion traffic. Best of all, it is free. However, SEO requires a lot of techniques and understand of how a search engine ranks your website. So, this is not a job for a 13 year old.

Why target Google?

Till date, the most used search engine is Google, having at least 35% of the total searches, and at least millions of searches per day. Also, according to experience, users of Google are more willing to spend online compared to other search engine like Yahoo. Therefore, if you want to create a stream of traffic that is highly targeted and highly conversion, Google is the best one to target.

What is Google ‘Sandbox’?

Google ‘Sandbox’ is an algorithm that ‘traps’ your off pages search engine optimization by ignoring them for the time being. The period of ignoring can range from 3months up to more than 1 year.

Why sandbox my optimization?

Before the sandbox is introduced, there were many “black hat” SEO users around. They create websites and used “black hat” SEO techniques to let their website get rank high and fast. Knowing they will eventually get removed from the indexes of the search engine, they created a similar website with the similar content, and do “black hat” SEO techniques again. The profit from the previous website can easily pay off their hosting, domain and a lot other fees.

In order to combat this, Google introduced this sandbox algorithm. The goal of this sandbox is to temporary sandbox off page optimization IF you are gaining it too fast. For example, for a website to gain 200 over inlinks overnight is quite impossible. Therefore, when Google detects this, they will temporary ignore this in your SEO in order to prevent the “black hat” users.

How to prevent it?

The best way to prevent this is to grow naturally. Create inlinks slowly. Try not to exceed more than 8 per day. Remember, this figure cannot be carry over to the next day if not used. Having no inlinks for 10 days and creating 80 inlinks in a single is just inviting for troubles.

However, instead of just waiting, you can make use of this time to create trustworthy inlinks. Squidoo is one of a good way to create inlinks but do not spam them. It will result you from getting banned from Squidoo, and Google.
