Search Engine Sandpit
I have thus far covered some of the basics of Search Engine Optimization, but what I have not covered is one of the main frustrations of SEO - the dreaded sandpit.

The sandpit is the name given to the time when your site is recognised by Google etc but is not actually listed on their results.
There are several reasons why search engines use the sandpit. basically its a spam filter, to stop spam sites from indexing with them.
