    My site was only sandboxed for 4 months, but now my serps are permanently nuked.

    I was #1 result for 3 terms, now I am on page 5-6 for each, even after I have MORE links than I did before. I gave up on that site a long time ago :)

    Maybe your site is still in the box then!

    my sites were about 3 months in sandbox

    building links from other sites is the key to get out of it quick

    Searchguild.com has created a test to determine whether a site is in the sandbox, and to help distinguish suspected Sandbox cases from instances where poor or 'spammy' optimization methods have caused the page's search results to be negatively affected.

    I was sandboxed for about 4 months before I had enough and contacted Google through a little opinion message box at the bottom of the search results which said: 'Dissatisfied? Help us improve'
    A few days later my pages were indexed in Google :)

    Are you sure that wasn't just a coincidence?

    GREAT! I'm out of the sandbox, AGAIN. Is it normal to jump in and out of the box like this?

    When this is all over, I'll write a sandbox review :]

    I have no idea. This is the second time I'm out of the sandbox this month. And since this site relies on Google to get much of it's converting traffic, my sales went up almost 8x today! Good to be back, I just hope it's permanent this time. Getting tired of going in and out of the box.
