So I get one site out of the sand box, now my next one goes in... lol this sucks... is a pr 5 site, ranking number 3 on the Non-filter google search for my key words Anybody else have relatively high pr sites sandboxed?
I am in the same boat. I now have a PR 5 and a PR 4 site sitting in google's sandbox. Both of these sites rank in the top 10 on the non-filter google search for their main keywords. I am just going to keep plugging away at these sites so that they will be in the top 3 when they come out of the sandbox.
The Google sandbox is a myth. I have never had a new site with proper optimization, nor a old page ranked site sit in any sandbox. Sometimes a site will not have good links pointed to it. If it lacks inbound links of high pr it will take longer for google to see it. If the SEO is not "par" it will not get listings so quick, hense the mythological "sandbox"
