		<description>[...] I previously have made several posts here and here about the phenomenon called the &#8220;Google Sandbox&#8221; - something that many people who launch brand new websites see. In essence, Google blocks new sites from getting any visitors through its search engine until enough various elements of the site show that it can be trusted. A lot of people have a lot of various theories on it, but one of mine is that there is a flat, 90-day &#8220;holding cell&#8221; period for a new site, after which you can be released to start ranking on commerce related searches targeted by spammers. When I last posted on it in October, I made this prediction: [...]</description>

		<description>[...] This might confound our friends at Free The Drones, who ferry us across the desert sands to The Google Sandbox Revisited. My take for now: A link to a custom weblog from BloodhoundBlog is probably more findable than building the website as a subfolder on our main website. [...]</description>

		<description>That is called the Sandbox Phenomenon.  Google tries to index a site when it first appears and you can score relatively well with a decent page rank for within the first month while google figures out if it likes the direction of your site.  So, you can land in the SERPs and see a good PR.  Then you dissappear for the rest of your 3 or so month stay int he sandbox.  You can find documentation of this phenomenon on SEOmoz.

check out my article on the sandbox:
