    So I’m in, how do I get out?

    Unfortunately, there is no sure fire way to get out of the Google “Sandbox”. There are theories that suggest placing your site on a subdomain of an established site and then using a 301 redirect to your domain once established. This is less than desirable for a variety of reasons, among them being no proof really exists for this and what company wants to be a parasite on another company’s website? All you can really do is wait.

    So how long?

    Now here is where it gets interesting. While there is no data freely available on the aging delay Google imposes on new sites, it does seem to vary from site to site. Sometimes it seems it’s based simply on the mood Google is in. However, one thing that is almost certain is that the time spent in the “Sandbox” is directly effected by a trust factor for your site/domain. This brings us to TrustRank. I will be covering this in more detail later, but for now, lets just say that Google gives a certain level of “trust” to your site based on many factors. One of them being the age of your domain. Let’s just say a new sandboxed site on a 10 year old domain would almost certainly be out of the sandbox before a site in similar conditions on a recently registered domain.

    So I just have to wait?

    Yes and no. Yes you have to wait, but no, you can get to work on your sites trust and authority in the meantime. Use the time in the “Sandbox” to create quality content and get relevant links from authorities in your field.

    Im in the google sandbox for 7 month now. are you sure that 6 month is a max? our serps dropped from 1. to page 26 after a few month to about 15 and now they are around 5.

    our backlinks are defenetly enough for a top 3 position.

    whats going on here?

    Skyper I think if you are on page 5 then you are out of the sandbox.
    It could be down to domain age or quality/relevance of links.
    I think more competitive nitches take longer to come out of the sandbox.
    I have heard people in dp say their site is in sandbox for over a year.

    I consider my site in the sandbox when I can't see my website rank in the top 1000 for my main targeted keyword. But after I get out, usually I get a rank in the top 20 or even better. This huge jump means I successfully get out from the sandbox and I always experienced this. I think the sandbox effect can take time from 4 months to 9 months. Maybe 1 year for extremely competitive keywords but I don't know, too many theories out there...
