Get on Google Search: Google Sandbox Effect How to Avoid - Search Engine Optimization Tips
Avoiding the Google Sandbox Effect 2015
You only have two choices if you’re looking to avoid the Google Sandbox Effect: you can either wait until your domain has aged for two or more years, or you can purchase a domain name from an auction site or domain seller directly.
Even if you’ve already put considerable efforts behind an existing new domain name that you may have, purchasing an aged domain name will allow you to rank higher and faster then with a new domain. Registering an aged domain name will at least give you the opportunity to rank as high as the first position on Google’s SERPs. Even with low competition for a given keyword, it’s going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to rank a new domain name on the first page of Google’s SERPs let alone be in the first position.
Of course, special circumstances could exist here, and if for example the new domain name is the exact same word or phrase as the intended keyword, there may be a chance to reach page one immediately. However, if there is heavy competition you will still see huge resistance even with a new domain name that meets this criterion.
Purchasing a domain name at auction doesn’t require that much effort, and it’s something that few know about or really take advantage of. I’ve found some of the best domain names that I own by combing through the auction sites on a periodic basis. These auction sites are not only dedicated to people willingly selling their domain names, they also house the crown jewels of domain names that have possibly unknowingly expired and are now available to scoop up, and those are recently expired domains.
There truly is no better way to get your content ranked quicker then by having an aged domain. Even if you do all the other things right, having a brand new domain name is going to sting for a long time. Google looks at a new domain name just like banks look at new businesses, as big risks. Whether it’s the risk it will fail, produce spam, or whatever other reasoning it has, Google has instituted these safeguards and it’s your job to ensure that you do whatever it takes to have the best fighting chance on ranking high.
By finding and purchasing an aged domain name, you will at least have the capability to rank your site high up on the SERPs, whereas with a new domain name, you will not. Simply put, new domains just aren’t trusted by Google.
Cross-referencing historical Google indexed data is going to be critical during the hunt for aged domain names. By cross-referencing the domain data you will be determining whether or not this is an actual aged domain name that has been indexed in the past, or whether it’s simply an old domain that sat dormant and never became a Website.
To conduct your cross-referencing work on the domain names you’ll be using a Website called the Wayback Machine. The Wayback Machine houses an archive of the Internet and its pages dating back to 1996. You’ll need to use the Wayback Machine while searching for domains at auction so it’s best to open it up in a separate browser window or tab while conducting your searches for an aged domain.
If you’ve ever tried to search for an aged domain, the process is relatively simple and purchasing an aged domain name is similar to purchasing a new domain name. The major difference is that the transfer usually takes a few days after purchase of an aged domain name as opposed to happening instantly for brand new, never before registered domains. But you know how the saying goes: good things come to those who wait.
The transfer period usually takes anywhere from 3 days to 6 days and sometimes happens before the expected final transfer date. Waiting a few days for an aged domain name is significantly better then having to wait a few years before you can rank a new domain on Google’s SERPs.
