how do you know if you're sandboxed?

[cgo85]

I've read alot of stuff about google sandbox and what not, but how do you know if you are in the sandbox or not? My site has been up for 3 months, Google has indexed 11k pages, and I get a good amount of traffic from obscure keywords... how do I know if I am sandboxed or not? Is it based on coming up for good/competitive keywords that I am aiming for? If I am ranked high for allinanchor, allintext, allinurl, etc... but not for the keyword itself is that being sandboxed? Just wondering if I have something to look forward to if I climb out... but I guess that is if I'm in it in the first place.

Well, real estate is one of the most competitive kws - if your site is not very new (more than 6 months old) then I guess you are not sandboxed.
