AdWords does not affect natural search engine rakings. Your site may have been 'sandboxed'. Try a search for this or look in the Google News forum.

Hi amanet,
Check your site at google with keywords and put seven exclusion operators. LIke keywords -asds -wrwer -wrew -sdfsdf -sdfsd -sdfsd -werwe -werewr. If your site is sandboxed you will come to know.

ok, i typed my keyphrase and then -asds -wrwer -wrew -sdfsdf -sdfsd -sdfsd -werwe -werewr Hey presto! The results returned my site on the front page where it was at the beginning of the year. It only shows one of my domains however and not the most appropriate domain that actually also contains the key phrase! So what does this mean? Without the text that you gave me the site does not appear until the 6/7 pages?

Hello all. I'm new to the forum but have been an Adword advertiser for about a year. Seeing same thing as amanet when I use the exclusions. I reviewed the past strings on the Sandbox theory but am still not clear on how this works. My site ranked at the top for two years for my particular product/subject matter on Google. However, beginning with a redesign in March, I'm at #41. I know this is about Adwords, but can I get a little more insight into Sandboxing?

"It only shows one of my domains" If these multiple domains are pushing the same topic and you haven't taken careful steps to seperate them, that could also be your issue.

I can confirm that the exclusions bring up our sites at number 1 and 7. In the normal serps the #1 site is #2 and the #7 site is nowhere. I know that the problem is that these two sites are interlinked however as a service to searchers they can not be otherwise. They are two completely different sites covering different aspects of the same area. Google has, IMHO, taken too strong an attack on this situation. We support the 2nd site with AdWords so the effect is minimized. In answer to the original thread AdWords does not affect placement. We get very good results on the first site that has a small AW program for a few obscure areas in which we don't appear on the first page.

What does -asds -wrwer -wrew -sdfsdf -sdfsd -sdfsd -werwe -werewr actually mean? I have 5 domains that all alias to the same place this seams sensible to me the company name .co.uk and two other industry keywords domains .co.uk and the .com. If this is a problem how do I get around it? Incidently when using a different keyphrase and -asds -wrwer -wrew -sdfsdf -sdfsd -sdfsd -werwe -werewr my site apears in three positions on the first page and two on the second page linked to 4 of the domain names! So this is all very good - how do I get out of the Sandbox?

Has everyone got bored with this subject? I'm still in big trouble as my client won't pay me because the site does not appear on Google! Can anyone help me get out of this mess?
