You lose almost all of your google traffic literally overnight. Nine months and counting in my case. No big deal, it's only thousands of dollars.

I don't have traffic to lose, but for possible future reference, what kinds of infractions get one "sandboxed"?
I wrote a hub about my experience in the sandbox, and that lays out the possible reasons why as well as the signs and symptoms. Its all to do with linking really, and the way HP is set up each of our subdomains start off with an awful lot of links.
I still don't know why some people are affected, and others not.

Just received an email from Google saying they will no longer support personal accounts on HP. Good bye to most of my writing income here.

So I've deleted all of the idled hubs so far and am wondering when I will have none left. I'm not going to edit anymore until I see some sort of improvement in traffic. Too much trouble for no results at all. With all of the scrapers and with HP's brilliant program I'll soon have...

Hi,I may be hyper-ventilating (and I will be glad if that is the case) but the numbers for HubPages are really bad in terms of traffic in the last few months. Currently it is an all time low of just 8.5 million views a day. Just about a month back it was 10 million views a day. The site rank has...
