Backlink Attack. Google Sandbox

4 pointspumpkinbutter1 comment

My controversial blog was recently attacked with garbage links. Google has now penalized me, placing my site in the sandbox. I don't even rank for my domain name when searching google.

Is there anything I can do?

Perhaps buy another domain and redirect(If so what type?) it my blog, so at least my articles/content appear in google, even if it's not for my main domain.

The penalty is probably due to the Google Penguin algorithm update. Buying a new domains and redirecting your blog to it will not help as the links will point to the new blog which will also receive the same penalty.

Register with Google Webmaster Tools. See if you have any message from Google on "unnatural links". Check your link profile. Try and figure out which are the sites that are causing the penalty. Try and get in touch with webmasters of those sites and ask for your link to be removed. If this does not work, you can use the disavow links tool (from within google webmasters) which is used to tell Google that you do not want them to consider the specific link.
