One year to fully come out of the sandbox.

Site launched in February 2004. It was a move from an old URL to a new URL so the content was identical when it launched (of course I changed it since then). It came up ranking very close to the old site for a couple of weeks and then went into the "sand box." Over the year I was able to achieve high rankings on related terms but not the primary terms. I was able to get the primary terms into the top 100 but not the top 10. After just about a year, rankings were finally "normal" (top ten for primary terms).

I have another site launched in September 2004. Again, some terms rank but not as high as I think they should. I believe that the site will be out of the sandbox this fall. Time will tell.
