Why is my site 3cardpoker.com penalized?

[leporello]

Well all my affiliate links are nofollowed and they're all 301 redirects. I don't see why this would be a problem as i have similar outlinks on all my sites.

I literally have done nothing with the site recently. 0 idea how it could have happened.

Everything sandboxes now it seems, the only question is for how long. Don't give up on this site, do the following:

Add regular content
Keep building links
Link out to quality related sites

Basically don't quit an you'll be back, just matters whether its a month, 3, 6, 9 whatever. 100% sandbox I'm sure, happens to every site I put up lately basically.

Yea I dunno, I looked through this site and around the site. I don't see anything wrong or bad. Google is just being silly and inconsistent as always. It will probably come back, but I've had a domain under a -50 for 8 months now, with no rhyme or reason.

For what it's worth, there are sporadic reports of crawl issues across the SEO community this week. You may be on the bleeding edge of the next major Google update (although it seems to me a bit early in the year for that).

Keep soliciting opinions/feedback. We may all have something to learn from what is (possibly) going on.

I don't think you're the only person experiencing pain.

I did post about this some time ago. New sites seem to be in an extended Google Sandbox. I know of many with sites launched in the last 6 months that are struggling to even generate long tail traffic from Google.

I've started letting new sites sit for at least 3 months, more like 6 months though. I will add a handful of partner page links, but that's it for link building for awhile. Age seems to be getting more and more weight, and Id rather let it sit than being aggressive.

Hey guys just wanted to let y'all know that the site has now come back since i removed the homepage links and repinged them. I also removed about 20% of the nofollowed affiliate links too though I suspect the former is the reason the site is now back again.\

FWIW I pinged all the pages after editing the content.

Really appreciate everyone's input here.
