How to Check Google Sandboxed Blogs


How to Check Google Sandboxed Blogs : How to Check Google Sandboxed Blogs to find out whether blog articles have been indexed by the Google search engine or not. A sandbox is different from being banned or de-indexed as a result of violating the rules set by Google search engine .


The Google sandbox is just a punishment by not displaying general Google search results with certain keywords. That is, if you write even very specific keywords, our blog articles do not appear in the SERP. Even though the blog has been around for a long time and has been indexed before, even some articles can appear on "page one" .



How to Check Google Sandboxed Blogs


First, how to check Google's Sandboxed Blog can simply be done by: first try writing the query "site:yourdomain.com" (without the quotes) in the google search box. If there are results, it means your blog is still indexed. Different from if the results appear
“Your search - site:yourdomain.com - did not match any documents."
It could be that your blog is banned (noindex) if it has previously been indexed (old blog) or the blog is still relatively new and has not been registered with Google or also prohibits Google from indexing your blog.


Try writing again, the title of the blog article or the full url of the article (with quotes) for specific keywords that you think have not been indexed or sandboxed. For example: “do you need to learn seo” or more specifically: “ https://www.mrjim.eu.org/2022/08/how-to-increase-website-visitors-quickly.html ” Look at the results. Does your article appear on the first pages or does it appear for other articles on your blog? If there is an article, it means that it is not sandboxed.


If it doesn't exist, try again by adding a site: query, for example: “site:https://www.mrjim.eu.org/2022/08/how-to-increase-website-visitors-quickly.html” or “site:https://www.mrjim.eu.org/, do you need to learn seo?” If the SERP is there, the article could be hit by the Google Sandbox. This means that the article has been indexed, but the position is somewhere or not displayed if using normal keywords.


Second, How to Check Google Sandbox Affected Blogs by using online tools from the Sandbox checker provider website. One website that provides the sandbox checker tool is http://www.searchenginegenie.com/sandbox-checker.htm


It's quite easy to use this tool, fill in our website links and keywords (articles or blogs). Don't forget to fill in the captcha. Click submit, and wait a moment, then the results will be displayed. If the result is "Your site is not in google sandbox", it means that the website that we are checking is not subject to the google sandbox .


Note: Since I have never experienced this, this article does not discuss the causes or how to get out of the sandbox. Next time I will share the experiences of colleagues who have been hit by the Google sandbox .
