My limited experience suggests there is definitely a lag in getting a new site to show up in Google's SERPs. One of our new sites appeared for the first time today (on page 59).

The duration of that lag seems to vary widely, for reasons that aren't apparent to me. Perhaps this inconsistency is contributing to the controversy over whether or not a "sand box" exists.
