> "For phrases where you've been affected "

.. this is exactly what I wanted to ask! Let's please clarify the effects for a moment:

Scenarios:

1. Are you >30 for every single phrase or just some phrases?

2. If your domain is xyz.com and you search for "xyz" ... are you #31 for that phrase as well?

3. Is it only for competitive phrases?

4. Or is it only for phrases you've specifically targeted and perhaps over-optimized for?

5. Is this the same thing as "the sandbox" everyone loves so much?
