How old is your site? How many links do you have and from how many domains, that use their anchor text to reinforce your keywords?

if your domain is sitename.com, search the with with "sitename" word. if you are on the first page, you are not sandboxed

Have you checked all 1,000 results?
The best way is to enter your URL as query and see if it is sandboexed or not.

From everything I've read about the sandbox, it's not clear that it really exists, but if it does, it's not an outright ban. It's a dampening variable in Google's algorithm to prevent new sites from scoring under competitive searches, to block get rich quick spam. Since your URL isn't very competitive, or a high volume search, it would make sense that you could come up for that, but not for better keywords.

As this shows the instances for this site how you can say that this shows .
Because if you search with this like " sitename " then it shows the presence of the site on the web so how we can chech for the sandbox please make clear on this...

My site is of 05-may-2006. Its showing result in its domain name but its not in result even for its complete title and in 4th position when the whole title is kept in "" and searched. In google I don't have any link yet but yahoo shows 105 links.

If your site is one year old and still not ranking "anywhere", I suspect you have done something wrong with your onsite/page optimization :confused:

The sandbox effect is about new sites. There was a guy who launched billions of MFA subdomains, got seven billion of them indexed in Google. They fixed it within a few days, but he managed to get around their page-a-day limit for new sites. They do a lot of stuff like that to prevent someone from figuring something out and taking over, overnight.
If your site is a year old, it's definitely not a sandbox thing. And if you're not showing any links in Google, that's the problem. That doesn't mean you dno't actually have any, they only show you a small fraction of what they know about. But the answer is you need more of them.
And you need the anchor text of those links to include keywords you want to come up under.
What's the URL of the site?

the sandbox is a myth...there is no "dampening effect" how can a new site rank well for a competitive term?

What does "page-a-day limit for new sites" referred to above mean?
Thanks.

So you're saying that the effect people are talking about both exists naturally and doesn't exist?

The "sandbox" doesn't exist....its just that your site doesn't have enough links, enough trust and your links haven't fully matured...how can you compete with a domain that has an old trusted domain and mature links.....
You can get a new domain to rank welll for competitive terms with links from trusted and relevant sources........that's the formula for pretty much any site out there

Well you are ranking #1 for themerchantsolutions so it's probably just normal ups and downs for you.
I've got several sites like zoodu.com and corrsonline.com that don't even rank for their own names, for about a month now.
