    I think that "sandbox checker" is a bunch of baloney. For one thing, the whole "Google Sandbox" is a theory. Google has never formally admitted that something like that exists. Not only that, but when you enter your website in there, it says that your website is in the sandbox and that you can contact them to get it out "in just three months". They are selling their services. And who's to say that your site wouldn't be out of the sandbox in three months by itself anyway.

    Additionally, they are using their so called "sandbox checker" to determine whether or not your site is in the "sandbox" or not. All they have to do is change their checker to where it will then start telling you that it's no longer in the sandbox. Sounds pretty gimmicky to me.

    I don't believe in the sandbox but do believe their is a filter preventing new sites growing too quick from unatural linking procedures.
    This tool has no way of telling if you are in any sandbox, or your site is just over optimised or under optimised for your search term.

    With me it was a bad linking structure, that when fixed brought my site back into the living after 18 months.

    Do not waste your time with tools like these - focus on the fundamentals (good content, good backlinks, etc), and your site will rank well.

    You just said that you have a couple of other sites, link back to your site from any of your other active site and you'll be included in the index pretty quick :).

    if you use legitimate marketing techniques and your content is good, you should be out in three to six months.
