That was the most interesting page I read for the “google sandbox” effect. In all other places, they said it should take 3-4 months to get out of this effect, and maximum 6 months. In your case, it took ~7 months.
so we need patience…

Nice post – thanks! I appreciate the actual numbers you included. I like to dig into those. Of course, people wouldn’t be reading this post unless their site was afflicted with “Sandbox” syndrome, so stats matter. I think getting out of this thing is taking a heck of a lot longer than it used to. It’s frustrating, to put it mildly, that I have a site that I’ve been generating content on sit in limbo for so long (now past the 6 month mark). It’s making me wonder if I’ve done something wrong. But when I begin to think those crazy thoughts, I remember back to the jumps in traffic I’ve seen in the past. Keep typing, I suppose.

Thanks again.

I think my new site is in Sandbox, but hopefully it will get out of it like yours did.

Great insights shared here – does google sandox apply no web 2.0 sites like blogspot and wordpress.com blogs?

I have also experience sandbox! And amazingly it was bcause we ranked the website for other Search Engines (in our case Yandex). The website was in Sandbox on Google and went seriously uo on Yandex, 2 or 3rd page!

Google sandbox exists – that’s true and I have experienced it myself not once. The problem is the time span – it may last for 1 month or it may last for over a year or even infinitely, so sometimes it’s better to let it go and work on some other projects than trying to bring something from the dead. If you’re in it, I suggest you do the same – create quality conten, but don’t misuse the linkbuilding techniques, cause they can trap you in sandbox for even longer time period.

I always thought the Google sandbox was a myth but since I’m reading more about it I’m getting more convinced it’s a reality. Your research makes it indefinately clear that the sandbox is something that should be avoided one way or the other.

@ Geiger: Hahahaha. Google his girlfriend? that is l33t!

The sandbox definitely exists. Once I’ve got out of it on certain sites, it’s absolutely ridiculous how much traffic and keywords I can rank for in that niche

We have seen the Sandbox effect on two of our sites in that with little change other than time, we moved from page 5 to page 1 all of a sudden after 3 months.
