Google Sandbox atau Sandbox Effect

Sudah taukah kamu tentang Google Sandbox atau Sandbox Effect ?

Google sandbox adalah kondisi dimana link suatu blog atau situs dikecualikan oleh Google dalam hasil pencariannya. Akibatnya url artikel kita tidak muncul dalam hasil pencarian Google, seperti baru-baru ini menimpa artikel saya yaitu "gogo2011 kobamusaji" dan "Mercedes-Benz Mobil Mewah Terbaik Indonesia" serta "Komodo Island is the NEW 7 Wonders of The World".

  
Biar lebih jelas nih saya cuplikkan definisi Google Sandbox atau Sandbox effect menurut Wikipedia:

According to the sandbox effect, links which may normally be weighted by Google's ranking algorithm, not least improving the position of a webpage in Google's index, may be subjected to filtering to prevent their having a full impact. Some observations have suggested that two important factors for causing this filter to come into play are the active age of a domain, and the competitiveness of the keywords used in links.

Active age of a domain should not be confused with the date of registration on a domain's WHOIS record, but instead refers to the time when Google first indexed pages on the domain. Keyword competitiveness refers to the search frequency of a word on Google search, with observation suggesting that the higher the search frequency of a word, the increasing likelihood that the sandbox filter effect will come into play.

While the presence of the Google Sandbox has been long debated, Google has made no abject disclosure on the matter. However, as the sandbox effect almost certainly refers to a set of filters in play for anti-spam purposes, it is unlikely Google would ever provide details on the matter.

Google has long been aware that its historical use of links as a "vote" for ranking web documents can be subject to manipulation, and stated such in its original IPO documentation. Over the years Google has filed a number of patents that seek to qualify or minimise the impact of such manipulation, which Google terms as "link spam".

Link spam is primarily driven by self interested search engine optimizers attempt to manipulate Google's page ranking by creating lots of inbound links to a new web site from other web sites that they own. Some SEO experts also claim that the sandbox only applies to highly competitive or broad keyword phrases, and can be counteracted by targeting narrow, or so-called long-tail phrases.

Nah, sudah sedikit paham kan...

Efek buruk Google Sandbox atau Sandbox effect tentu pada posisi artikel kita di SERP Google, karena jelas akan hilang dari halaman hasil pencarian.

Saya sendiri tidak tahu bagaimana caranya agar artikel-artikel saya (gogo2011 kobamusaji dan Mercedes-Benz Mobil Mewah Terbaik Indonesia serta Komodo Island is the NEW 7 Wonders of The World) itu dapat segera keluar dari SandBox. Hanya usaha dan doa yang dapat saya lakukan selama ini.

Terakhir, semoga kamu tidak mengalami kondisi seperti saya, agar tetap bisa eksis dalam nge-blog dan mengikuti kontes.

Salam..
