How to Create a Blog - Part 9

December 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

As we continue to write articles on how to create a blog we want to encourage you about the process of the Google sandbox. We wrote some time ago about a site that we developed called Hurricane Tracking Sites. The Hurricane Tracking site had started out with a flourish, with a page 1 Google result and hundreds of hits in its first few days of existence. It had hung around on page 1 for about six weeks and then just as suddenly as it arrived, it disappeared from the search engines. This is what the Google sandbox does. Last week, the site came back and landed back on page 1 again. I am watching the site to see if it is going to settle in and in the meantime I will post a few articles to the site to help it stay established. Since hurricane season is over for the year there has been zero traffic to the site, but this will change when the season starts again in June. The encouragement is that even though some of your sites may get sand boxed, they will eventually come back. The advantage to developing more than one blog is that even if one of your sites is not doing well, you can just wait out the sandbox by developing your other sites. Hurricane Tracking Sites will most likely end up on Blogs for Sale and will have a lot of potential for the right blogger.
