Is my site in the Adsense sandbox?

Does it even exist? It could be I have evidence.

A few months ago I saw a spike in traffic to a site of mine.

This site has real-ti

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

This continued over a few week

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

s, although the number on site from Google simultaneously never matched the 20 again, I witnessed a steady hit rate throughout each day, some days reaching 10 or so Goog

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

le HQ visitors at one time. But mostly they would pop up in 2's and 3's.

I still get these visitors... checking the site now and there is at least one Google employee o

It became obvious that my site was being watched and monitored by Google staff. I said

Anyway, again a few months ago a trend began which involved placing images near your Adse

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

nse ads to catch the visitors' eye, in the hope that they would then read the ads nearby and click through. I believe I was one of the first to have these images up and

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

running and this could be what got me spotted by Google.

The result of all this was two fold.

First of all, Google has been doing some serious 'messing' with the displ

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

ay format of my ads. With a few Adsense blocks on a page I find more often than not many are disabled in favour of the leaderboard only across the top of the pages. But

Which combination prod

I've been watching this happen now for around

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

6 weeks.

The other, much better, upshot of all this is that following the Jagger update Google have really got their teeth into this site and started to throw lots of t

My conclusion is that I popped up on the Google radar, they monitored me, and continue to, but decided that the site wasn't breaking any TOS a

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

nd more importantly it wasn't a spam site.

I hope to see them drop those black borders soon, surely it can't be helping the CTR on the Adsense?

Take a look at those bo

So it seems that popping up on the Google radar isn't such a bad thing. I certainly appreciate the extra site traffic. :)

Well many in the mobile car washing Industry sub-sector say that running a home based small business like a mobile car wash is perhaps one of the simplest businesses in the World to operate. Indeed this is true and after spending 25 plus years enjoying the fruits of this mobile onsite car wash business, I can say it was a major plus. Nevertheless there are some serious issues which must be addressed in mobile car washing; namely the issues of Insurance and Environmental concerns and considerations.
