From 11th Oct,when one of my sites started up, until today (30th) I have had 98 referals from MSN and only 16 from Google.I have 2 questions. 1) Would I be assuming correctly that my site is in the G sandbox? 2) Can I expect G to catch up with MSN when I come out of the sandbox? TIA.
If your site was just started up you are in the sandbox. There is no way to tell if they will be equal in referrals since you will most likely rank in different positions.
I have to agree that your most likely in the Google sandbox. If you do manage to rank in the same positions for the same terms in both Google and MSN then you will see a whole lot more traffic from Google.
