When your site starts to attract traffic for your keywords.

I'll guess I'm out of the 'Sandbox' (or out of the trust filter or whatever it is called) then. I have had my first keyword traffic from Google :)

I also have a GWT account, but I have read that the use of a sitemap.xml is a bad idea fore a new website -- Maybe it's true, because ever since I dropped the sitemap.xml, good things have happened to my website in Google.

Yup, I am trying to get some inbounds, but it's difficult to get inbound links from related websites, because my niche/category is still rather small (where I come from). But I hope it'll come in time, by itself, when people learn to know my website.
