    Post your site here and I will take a look.

    If you are talking about linkmart.net then its not sandboxed, its just not indexed.

    Just answer the following questions -
    Check the following things to see if your site may be sandboxed,

    * Search for site:yourdmain.com on Google. Is your site well indexed with no supplemental results?
    * Search for your keywords in MSN and Yahoo. Are you well ranked for your main keywords in either of these search engines?
    * Search Google for allinanchor:yourkeyword and allintitle:yourkeyword. Is your site showing up in these searches?

    If you answer yes to these questions and your site still isn’t showing in Google then it could well be the case that your suffering from the sandbox penalty

    Maybe sandboxed. More likely just not enough links and not high enough trustrank.

    If you're SEOing for ad-van-ce lo-an (split up so this page doen't rank for it) then yes you need to get more links to rank well in Google (with your keyword as the anchor text) Try to get the links from sites already ranking for that keyphrase. I don't think you're still sandboxed.

    Trustrank isn't anything visible. Google is believed to assign a trustrank value to a site. This can be down to many factors such as the age of the domain, the link structure and the number of incoming links from quality, on-topic sites.

    My site is indexed and #1 for a worthless search term (because it's my website name), but doesn't register for any other keywords. I have no keywords on google or MSN or yahoo, I'm either penalized or in the sandbox myself :(

    Sounds like you just don't have enough links if you're not ranking on any search engine. Even if it was a penalty it would be unusual for all search engines to penalise you.

    It's not too difficult to understand, people try to overcomplicate it. Just look on it as a 6-9 month period that Google won't let you out to play with the big boys. Once it's over you'll start to rank for competitive keywords.

    LOL

    There would need to be a sandbox in order to see if you are in it ......

    Google has a sandbox but it is used in Adwords.

    What you are refering to is known as an aging delay.

    It is done to thwart spammers....

    you need to build trust and as in any relationship trust is built over time...not in a few days or weeks.....

    Keep working on your site 1 link a day 1 page a day ....

    Soon you will be trusted and you won't have wasted your time using silly scripts built by people who DO NOT WORK FOR GOOGLE... :rolleyes:

    These people who build these scripts no nothing more about the inner workings of Google than you or I do....

    Peace & one love

    Do you mean if a new site has not enough links it goes to sandbox? Actually my site is sandboxed so i am not trying to get the more links for that site. I think if a new site getting the links quickly with competitive keywords it will go to sandbox. Now my site is sandboxed so what should I do? Should I create the links for that site or Should I wait only for sometime?

    No...too many links too quickly and you go to a further delay....

    And if the sites you are refering to are those diamond jewelry sites you can expect to be waiting 6 to 9 months to pull low comp terms and 9 to 12 months for high comp.

    See PM for my results on the same category.

    Peace & one love
