Sandbox part 2
More terms have come out the sandbox - which means that all my commercial clients have now got all their target rankings.
I was getting a little worried for a while, as PR was up to date, but the links just weren't pushing very hard - and pages even disappearing. Also - the sandbox seems to me to be working according to keywords, rather than sites/pages - I had one set come out of the sandbox last week, another came out today - but there are a couple more search terms that don't appear to have come up yet. I actually have a theory that at least one of the contributory reasons for the "sandbox" effect being implemented, was to stop people buying one-month's worth of text-link ads across thousands of pages, thus getting a quick but very temporary boost. If that was general practice, Google's SERPs would become so screwy. Now text-links have to be long-term to get the rankings from it.

Re: Sandbox part 2
Are we to say that those search terms that show up number one using the filter
EG: dance mixes -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf -asdfasdfasdf would this then be the true outcome of the serch term after the time span of the filter is finished if the link is genuine.. |

Re: Sandbox part 2
I've heard about that, and to be honest, it would be for the people who originated that idea to sustain it.
But, to be honest, the whole issue doesn't bother me too much. There's a lot of people talking SEO theory on forums, but since I just put my head down and started working commercially, I just don't care for theory. Appending the search term *may* give the "actual" results -but who isn;t to say that these won't change tomorrow? It depends upon how often Google is updating it's SERPs. There's still an interesting question as to whether Google is actually updating daily, or whether there's a rolling change in algorithm going on. Either way, I'd simply recommend continuing to push out more links, and be more concerned about the monthly updates.  The whole issue of "true ranking" on the issue is, IMO, a distraction.
