    With every new site I just make sure I have the blue prints to my next sand castle because I will probably have 9 months to build it.

    You might consider not to post your adsense ads in your new site. That might be a good strategy to avoid sandbox.

    It's where a new (ish) site simply won't show in the SERPs for keywords that it's optimized for regardless of the number of IBL's.
    Exactly what happens no one is sure, nor does anyone actually explain why it seems to affect some sites and not others.

    thanks .. will copy the text here


    In the age of fair competition you may find it hard to believe that a search engine may hinder the appearance of a new website.

    This is what is currently believed to be happening on more web servers today. Some programmers have viewed Google as uncomfortable to rank newer websites until they have proven their viability to exist for more than a period of "x" months. Thus the term "Sandbox Effect" applies to the idea that all new websites have their ratings placed in a holding tank until such time is deemed appropriate before a ranking can commence.

    However the website is not hindered as much as the links that are reciprocated from other users. Newer links that are created are put on a "probationary" status until again they pickup in rank from other matured sites or placed directly by an ad campaign. The idea behind the hindrance is to prevent a fast ranking to occur on a new website. The usual holding period seems to be between 90 and 120 days before a site would start obtaining rank from reciprocal or back linking.

    Some advice has been given to have companies you are going to reciprocate back add your link first to the website. This may help grandfather your site in, thus reducing the waiting time associated with "new" websites. People have noticed a 0 page rank when first signing up and receiving a bolstering 7 page ranking after 4 months. Why the delay? The fact is, that if people realized how easy it would be to get a high ranking, would that take away the credibility of the engine. It depends on whom you ask, but it does seem to be happening frequently to newer subscribers. Do not discontinue back linking, your rank will eventually appear.

    I run a strictly merchant site, only income is sales and had no Adsense on it for the first 7 or so months. The site was sandboxed quickly and has been sandboxed for a long time. Wish this theory was true though.

    You can also avoid the sandbox by just not searching Google.
