    So as of yesterday, my site is no longer sand boxed and currently is 42 in google for my feature key words.

    For future reference, what determines the length of time that a site stays in there? I was in the dam thing for 3 months, which I guess from reading on here is not that bad a length of time? Thanks.

    No one knows, unfortunately. (except Google, of course)

    As mystikmedia indicated no one knows and google doesn't really admit that there is a sandbox effect.

    One of my sites was out of the sandbox in about 1 month, while my second is still almost 5 months into it....and counting.

    Congrats on getting out.

    Congratulations! One of mine took almost a year. It was a large site (200,00+ pages) Maybe that was the reason.

    There may be no sandbox for uncompetitive terms like "infonote." I put a nonsense word in one of my new sites and it appeared as #1 on Google in just a few days...no sandbox.

    Getting a useful term onto the SERPS from that site still has not happened.

    Hi all,
    Can you please tell me how to tell if you are in sandbox or not. My site is about 3 weeks old (went live) and I am getting about 10 referrals a day from search engines (mostly from Google). The ting is when I search for keyterms I am no where to be found, at least not in the first 5 pages or so (can't be bothered to check the rest), but I am getting referrals for some obscure terms that I hadn't been expecting. As for MSN, I am getting about 30% of referrals but for terms I do expect to get found. Also, when I check for my backlinks on Marketleap or any other tool, I am only getting back links from MSN, Yahoo and others that use Yahoo but 0 backlinks from Google. However, when I use the site prompt on Google I can see links.

    This is how you know.

    If you search your keyterm e.g. communications (i'm thinking thats what your site is on) and your site doesn't show up in like the top 5 pages or ranks like 65443332 for that keyword, then you are sandboxed.

    When you are sandboxed you get little or no traffic from google.
