    I shifted my Blogger blog on my own domain on 20th Dec 2009. My Blogger blog was two years old with PR 2. The blog is still hosted on Blogger and redirected to new domain.

    I wanted my blog to come on first page of google.com for the search term "keyword1 keyword2". My new domain is keyword1-keyword2.com.

    This domain was owned by someone and was live in 2008 only for few months according to archive.org.

    Now for search term "keyword1 keyword2" I am on first page for yahoo and Bing. On 91st position on google.co.in and nowhere on google.com.

    Am I sandboxed? How long it may take to come out of it?

    No you won't be sandboxed, Make sure the redirect on your old blog is fully functioning, it may also be worth puting a NOINDEX tag on the content on your old blog, incase google is picking this up as duplicate content.

    Just be patient, keep to white hat SEO, and it will climb in Google.

    By the way, Sandboxing isn't real, its pure myth, sure Google can penalize sites, but stick to the SEO TOC and you will gain rank eventually.
