    Hi All

    I'm after a bit of advice regarding the sandbox. I started SEO work on my site about 6 weeks ago and have built up a decent amount of back links with good anchor text. I am on page 1 for some of the more obscure keywords but on my main keywords, I seem to move between pages 8,9 and 10. My site is optismized with good keyword density h1 tags etc. I was just wondering if this is anyone elses experience of the sandbox as I though if you were in it your site wouldn't rank anywhere for your chosen keywords?

    Thanks

    Decent amount is how many?

    From the sounds of it I'll assume your are being filtered in your main keywords which people call being sandboxed.

    If anything slowly grow your back links and build more on content, always works a charm for me.

    IMO either your backlink strength is not enough yet for the main terms, or possibly the anchor text is too similar and some filtering is being applied because of that. just keep going and mix up the anchor text a bit.
