Sandbox Diary Part 2
Today's update:
I spent most of tonight filling out and verifying local business profiles. I already had the site listed in Google Local / Places so hopefully the additional listings will help the site rank on local and maybe un-sandbox my site because Google will realize the business is listed on a bunch of legitimate sites.
Sandbox Diary Part 1
I am trying to see whether the Google Sandbox is a myth and only exists because people don't know how to build links or whether it is a legitimate phenomenon. If it does exist? What does it take to get out? Here is where I am as of 5/15/2010.
Site: Brand new domain, live on 3/1, 15 to 20 competitive sites for the keywords I'm targetting, main keywords are in the domain name, .com tld
- Confirmed in Webmaster tools, domain registered until 2013
Link Building:
Blogs - Two blogroll links on relevant sites (150 links total)
Directories - Yahoo Directory
Articles - 10 articles on 5 different services using varied anchor text
Press Releases - 1
Social Media - Twitter account, Identi.ca account, Facebook fan page
Others - Aboutus.org (nofollow not the dofollow paid service)
For the top tier keywords, the site ranks around 150 to 200, for second tier keywords 20 to 40, and for third tier keywords first page and in some cases first overall.
This week I have tentatively planned for 10 new articles, one or two directory submissions and some social bookmarking. Let's see what happens.
Slim Thug’s Twitter Account is Amazing
If you're thinking of killing yourself and need one good reason to keep on living, I suggest putting the gun down, undoing the rope or pulling the car out of the garage and checking out Slim Thug's Twitter account.
Yes I am joining the late train on this one (Chris told me about it) but after a week of following his words, I can tell you this much, its the most entertaining thing on the internet.
Take some of the following words of wisdom from Houston's finest:
"Ok I quit I was bored back to the game #whatmendo but fathers pls spend time with yo kids they could become stans or boyz who like boyz smfh"
"Hey @TayGoHard4Ciara HOMO I wasn't hating on Ciara I said she's fine and I wanna have sex with her now u and yo faggotfriends go buttfuck"
"No I said u need a face transplant and a body transplant 2 RT @iSTANFORSUPERCI: Lmfaooooo. @slimthugga said I need a face lift. Ahhhhhhh!"
"Somebody tell Ciara I want her to ride my beat"
"I just hit the weed for the first time since December I dnt even miss that shit" this was followed by "#fuckdrugs" (this is also the name of a new song)
Regarding #teamnatural "Rules no sunglasses to cover up rings around the eyes no bras to push up sagging tits no heels to help u get a ass no make up. #teamNatural"
"But I'm not saying everychick need a big ass and titties some are sexy without it"
"Ok I quit tryna help yall ass stay yo lonely ass in the house with yo toys.. And be single forever with yo high expectations #doyou"
"Cause some niggalaos bitches@SammieLovesU: So why do some guys call females hoes when they do fuck on the first nite if its ok? @slimthugga"
"Nobody wanna fuck yo fat ugly ass anyway RT @lulucakess: @slimthugga ass be having sum ole bullshit ass tweets #killyoself BIG TIME!!!"
"And 2 all girls who already had sex be4 but still wanna make u wait its a 3 date limit Oprah even said it It only makes us fuckother girls"
