My site http://www.freelisted.com is pretty new (around 1 week). I have submitted my site to google and google sitemap on 8 Sept. Guess what. My index page was indexed by Google on 9 Sept. All of the pages(100 ++ pages) were indexed by Google on 12 Sept. It is amazing.
then definitely my website is int he sandbox. i submitted mine and google seems like not showing any sign of a crawl.
No. It is not related with sandbox. My site is still new and I am sure it is still in the google sandbox.
Thing with Google is patience i have found nowadays. It is a shame they used to list so quickly in the past.
my site www.mcseworld.com had 9k pages index in google for 1 year. I installed a good site map, now after 1 month I have 60k pages in google!! Thanks google site map!!
Congrats , My site is running on free hosting since July and earns about $3-4 a days I'm preparing to upgraded it to .com domain and better hosting
