How To Get Your Site on Google And The Sandbox Effect

Every week I get at least one email from a reader who just created a website or a blog, asking how he should submit his site to Google, how long it will take for the website to appear there and so on.

That is why I decided to write an article on my other website, titled How To Get Your Website On Google.

The information is aimed at beginners, but many of our readers are just starting out, so this might be useful to them. Even if you already have some experience you might learn something, as at the end of the article I explain the “sandbox effect,” which people always get confused about.

Here is a quote:

For example, let’s suppose that you just launched a website called SuperCars.com. You put some content there, get some backlinks, and then you use the “site:” parameter to see if it is indexed. It is. You then search on Google for “super cars,” hoping to find your site there, but it is nowhere to be found, even when you look on the second, third and fourth page of results.

Is there something wrong here? No. This is a perfectly normal pattern, and people call it “the sandbox effect.
