This is the down side of having a sudden surge of traffic on a site/blog… you get penalized by Google.. off you go to their Sandbox for further study.

I noticed it when Alison Carroll suddenly is nowhere to be found having been in Google’s second page yesterday. As well as Ikariam and Dofus games.

This happened on my other blog where a particular particular post suddenly got huge traffic (5 times it’s regular traffic)! Yes, of course the earnings was great.. it was 5 time too from my regular daily earning but having your blog in the sandbox for at least 2 weeks is still not  worth the earning.

Proof…

You can see that from my 1,000+ daily regular visitors, it suddently went sky high to almost 6,500 visitors! wooaah! Damn it!

Sad sad thing… Just as I was earning $20+ a day from Adsense, I once again got ‘jailed’ by the big ‘G’ a couple of days ago. Noticed it when my earnings suddenly dropped 50% when it consistently earning, like I said $20 on average.

Oh well, guess there’s nothing else to do now but to keep on blogging! How can I stop now when I’ve earned myself thousand of dollars from Adsense! (well, couple of tens short for 1K anyway.. :D)

Want proof of the Sandbox penalty? Here, take a look…

What to do, what to do… Any suggestions?

I Just found out tonight that my longest-running domain, everything-eli dot com, and many of its pages are removed from Google’s SERP.

Usually, when I search for my name, i.e. Elizar Palad, Google will show everything-eli.com on the first page, number one. If you search for “everything eli“, you will not see the site. “Everything-eli” nothing. Good thing “everything-eli.com” returned something…

Anyway, I know that this was caused by the paid posting activity that my blog was entered into which started May of last year. But come on, it’s just a very small percentage.

A few weeks ago, there was this very heated discussions between Google and Payperpost. This started when Google set the Page Rank of all those who participated in the paid blogging campain to zero.

Now I’m thinking of removing the PPP code and try to resubmit the site to Google.

Would that work, do you think?
