Setting Up A Directory: My Adventures

Simon --

You're a sadist, my friend. lol

What you suggest is actually a fucking great idea. Only reservations I have is it would steer this thread away from the primary intent and the extra work would probably get me locked away for a long time.

Depending on the domain choice though, it would be something I might consider doing here once the first one is setup and running. Would be very interesting I think.

Some new webmasters might be confused as to the meaning of google's sandbox.

New sites can get indexed on google but will not show up for relevant keywords until a grace period has elapsed. The average period is anywhere from 3 to 8 months. They get sandboxed. Many marketers believe the sandbox is actually more of an aging filter. Google filters out the new sites until they are deemed worthy of relevant indexing. The only solution to this problem (which flies in the face of free enterprose IMO) is to wait it out.

The good news is that it does not apply to other engines that can give us good traffic. It is possible to get ranked on yahoo and msn very quickly, for instance.

So, back to the problem ...

Having porn movie keyphrase in the title : Is it worth waiting possibly 8 months in the google sandbox?

If I needed quick money, then probably not. But this is a long term project. The answer to the question is what is the best long term decision?

I'm still thinking porn movie directory ...

I think ...
