Webber–
You are talking about a diffferent type of JS re-direct than I am. The kind that Google does not like is when webmasters use javascript re-directs to serve a different page of content other than what the bot is seeing. Matt Cutts is talking about people ‘tricking’ the Googlebot–it is basically a form of cloaking where the bot will see one page of content and visitors see another through the use of JS re-directs.
This is NOT what I am talking about. Maybe ‘re-direct’ was not the proper term. I should have said: Instead of using HTML links to link to each of my affiliate casinos (like we all do with the ?=xxxx and the affid tags etc.), I am going to use JS function calls instead, realizing that bots do not follow Javascript Links (function calls) and so, if my theory is correct, the bot will NOT be continually lead to online casinos as they are now when indexing our sites, which is what I think leads to sandboxing. From my research it is ONLY affiliate sites that are suffering from this effect (and not just casino-related) because it is these types of sites that are competing with Google for revenue.
I am pretty confident this will eliminate the Sandbox effect–but I won’t know for sure until 5-6 months down the road.
