Hi,
Without seeing the logs here's my educated guess:
You copied whole articles from other seo sites and pasted them in maybe changed a word or two but you just copied -
duplicate content
Let's see here's a should be unique qoute from your site - right?-
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...io&btnG=Search
Or
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...e+&btnG=Search
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ay&btnG=Search
Google is spidering your site just fine - It can see it but you can't feed it left-overs - it wants a real meal>
Your site is getting what google feels it deserves.....
Oh yea another fine example of the term "sandbox" - sandbox - a term used by seo guys that don't have a clue why they aren't getting placement - it can't be me doing something wrong - it's got to be the mysterious sandbox
Backlink - seems to be the solution and the answer to everything from the sandbox crew......lol
