    Hmm, you've made me wonder about this.

    I have a site about game cheats, walkthroughs, trainers and related stuff, it's in my signature.

    It's about 3 months old, I've managed to list in DMOZ and on various directories.

    I get about 30-60 visitors daily, about 10-15 from DMOZ, about 35 from Google Search and the rest from various directories. I'm on the first page on Google for search phrases like:

    yugi the destiny savegame
    kana walkthrough intellectual
    zanzarah-savegame
    two tenkaku
    eikeso
    thundertruck rally games
    clusterball-trainer
    ys iv story adol christian
    ygodeckswitch
    gunmetal-the game
    blaizinG
    hiphopmania game
    1503 trainer
    brian meermans
    call of cthulhu dark corners of the earth pc god mode
    starscape god-mode
    neverwood game
    gonarchs versteck ps2
    xcom2 editor
    harvest moon magical melody truffle
    jadeware android 1.2
    shellshocked ps2


    Would you say I'm still in the sandbox, considering these facts ? If yes, what should I do to improve?

    I think I am still sandboxed but I don't know.. I'm not too worried about it.

    Good post Aaron. We started a reality TV site in August/September 2005, and had moderate search engine success. Not much from Google at all, but MSN ranked us pretty highly!

    I'd heard of the sandbox, but never saw the effects before. Bizarrely in February 2006, our hits from Google went through the roof - we'd served our time and finally got the results we deserved!

    Now my strategy is to launch a new site in the early stages while still developing, make a few small backlinks to it and submit to Google. As you say, I spend time developing the content and the theme and wait until the sandbox period ends.

    the sandbox, is not a real term, and certainly not conjured up by google or anyone apart of it

    unless you would like to show proof, which you will find difficult if not impossible? :cool:

    It isn't a real term but the filter does exist.

    yeah... whats up with that? I'm going to be more careful from now on... I am afraid to use my own article as content (fear of duplicate content punnishment)! From now on I am writing completely different articles to submit!

    Is the sandbox period effected by the age of the site or the age of the inbound link??

    I tend to lean towards age of inbound links.
