Adding sandboxed site content to other domain?

Avoids sandboxing of this content, or drowning the "good" site too?

We have some pages running, some in the sandbox (or filtered somehow) some not. Would you consider it a good idea to add the content of a sandboxed page in a subdir of some good ranking domain? (domain names are interchangeable in our case, but totally different content and theme)

Might that avoid the filtering of this content, or might that rather drown the actually well doing site too?

What are your thoughts on that? anyone tried it out?

I don't know how this would pan out but I cannot see it having a detrimental effect on your existing site. I have a sandboxed site that should be doing much better and what I have tried is creating an optimised page on an existing site that links to the new site. I am hoping that this will eventually channel the relevant traffic into the new site.

In my case the sites are similar. The page I created on the existing site is valid and in context so it's a different scenario from yours.

Thanks BeeDeeDubbleU. I've tried what you suggest, but did not get any results out of that.

I'm not a true believer of the sandbox, and rather think, that something is triggering a google filter, as I have some "old" pages who got into the "sandbox" last march, without touching them at all. (And I think, being a new site, is just one of this triggers).

So if I mount this "spam-trigger" on a good ranking site, it might trash me this good site too.

Just besides. The sites are straight "normal" small business websites, in not sooo competitive niches. No highly optimized stuff, and so no fancy "spam-triggering" things.. (at least not what I can see...:(

Even I was wondering about this issue:

- I have a sandboxed site A (new site) which has some excellent content
- I have another high ranking site B (very old site) which is in the same niche but lacks the content that is currently present in the Site A

I was planning to do the following

- Move the content from Site A to Site B
- No 301 redirect (as I am afraid 301 redirecting a sandboxed domain to a good ranking domain would pull that one too into sandbox)
- Site A showing all removed pages as 404

Has anyone tried out a similar stuff? What could be the disadvantages of doing such a thing, could Google be even able to determine where the pages have been moved and thus even sandbox the better ranking old site?

As far as my findings go, providing you don't lose any of your old backlinks as a result of the change, the site would be fine on the older domain.

In fact it would probably rank quite quickly as opposed to not at all.

Old domains are no use without old backlinks. New domains just aren't any use at all in my opinion.

I think it might be a good idea. A quick mention about a sandboxed page of mine on a non-sandbox-blog would get that page 10 times higher in the serps than my actual original page.

I assume that moving your content to an old site with a new subdomain would release it from the sandbox. You'll loose PR, but the serps will make up for it.

This sandbox thing really freaks me out, especially when its enough for any site older than one year to add a dynamic page with 2 lines of meta headers with a refresh to my site and bam - it outranks my page 10 times. Not to mention that google then puts additional penalty on my site for duplicate content...

These are not good times to start up web sites, if you want people to find them.
