Can you have good PR and still be in sandbox?

    I have a site with PR7

    I have concentrated on many high quality inbound links with specific anchor text. The site has a definite theme. The 2 terms I have spent a ton of money and time purchasing are void when using tools like shoemoney serps tool. For the life of me, I do not understand it. I have had people review my site and claim it rates high in SEO standards. Am I dealing with a sandbox issue?

    Any ideas?

    Yes, PR is irrelevant to the trust of your domain (ie, age, trust of inbounds, etc) when the terms are competitive.

    So where do I begin? How do I confirm and try to remedy?

    Thanks!

    Patience for age or really trusted inbounds (BBC, NYT, Washington Post, New Scientist, etc).

    I do believe I have great inbounds. How would I find out if the domain has had trouble in the past? I have ha dit live for 3-4 years. Is there a way to ask Google what the status is?

    you can always look on archive.org to see what the website was like before... i'm guessing it's a competitive term so keep building links from aged authority websites.. not much else you can do..
