no. Site has a trust rank in google type your domain name without www and com in google - and the site will be appear in first position
What is your point? I have website that can be found on google, have 600+ indexed pages, and around 200 quality backlinks, but last 3 PR updates i get PR0 (On main and on subdomain) Is there any more precise way to check sandbox?
If you are sandboxed your pages ARE indexed but for competitive keywords you won't perform on 1rst page. However, for less competitive keywords, like your site's name, you can be on first place. The number of indexed pages has nothing to do with the sandbox effect.
Your site is not sandboxed. However, your ranking may not good since it has 0 link popularity in Google, even 4 years 6 months 15 days old already. How could this happened?
How to tell if you may be in the sandbox... 1. The site is on a new domain and less than about 1 year old 2. The keywords you are trying to rank on are considered competitive. 3. Most of the pages of the site has been indexed by Google. 4. The site ranks well for its' competitive keywords in Yahoo and MSN 5. The site ranks well for the non-competitive keywords on Google. 6. The Googlebot visits and crawls the site on a regular basis. 7. The site ranks well for an allinanchor:"your keywords" search. 8. The site has a decent number of unique IBL's and an OK PR 9. The site does not have anything known to cause a ban or penalty. 10. The site has decent SEO 11. The site does not rank in the top 300-400 for it's main keyword. If your site does not have all 11 things I listed above, then you just rank poorly. Original Post: Am I in the Sandbox?
