    this is interesting, if this is true, then 1 of my sites is definetly "STILL" sandboxed baecuase i get a rank of #3 using this but i'm not in the first 10 pages normally.

    but why? the site was launched in September!

    Curious since Google supposedly ignores all words after the first 10. Did something change?

    ....

    Sure enough, Google does not appear to be truncating search queries anymore!

    What happens if your site has 'asdf' as text on it?

    this is interesting... the more i search, the more i realize that my other sites do better as well... i have sites on page #1, link #5 that come up as #1 with this trick.

    this begs the question ... how do you get out?!

    all my new sites have great rankings with the nonesense words

    I would like to see google out of business asap, or at least reduced to say 30% of searches

    Yup, the limit's higher, now 32 words. Now that's interesting. Makes it easier to search for content thieves.

    As for the -asdf, I agree it's interesting to see the different results. I'm not quite sure they actually remove the sandbox, though. There was talk of -asdf after a big google update about a year ago, they returned drastically different results back then also.

    Sure enough, #1 with the filter killer. I was certain that I am being penalized, but could not prove it. Now I know. I just don't know why.

    Great post. Many, many thanks.

    This doesn't seem to be a "site wide" filter to me. Some of my kewords/phrases are effected, some are not.

    That most likely means only some of your pages are "sandboxed" or they don't rank well.

    Is it possible wrkalot, that some of those phrase wouldn't rank well - sandbox or no sandbox? Obviously, we can't all rank well for everything, so we tend to concentrate on a few. It's those few - the ones we truly believe should rank well - that should be looked at with this filter-breaker.

    This is a phrase I have been targeting for a very loooong time. It's not competitive. I held the number one and two spots up until "florida". Donna (or any of you guys) care to take a peak at my site and phrase for a quick looksee? I'll PM the info to you.

    Not only does this bring my sandboxed site from 1000+ to the first page, it also raises the position of my seven year old never-been-sandboxed site.

    And the guy that has a strong number one position drops about 5 positions, with various sites in the 'real' serp 2 through 10 moving above him.

    Interesting, but how to use this info?

    Feel free to PM me, wrkalot. (No guarantees I'll have a clue though). :)

    Well, it can't be used unless we can figure out what is being filtered. It may just be "age", but it may be something else entirely.
