Will AdWords Help a Penalized Site?

[danaj]

I believe my website is being sandboxed. The site was launched in March. Google currently shows 21 backlinks and my home page is a PR5.

When I do a "allintitle" search for my main keywords, I come up as #5 on the first page, but when I do a regular search I am on Page 13!

Will Google Adwords help move me up?

I don't think adwords will help your case. Have patience. Keep adding new pages and contant links to your sites. Hopefully this will payoff soon.

I wouldn't rule it out, but I wouldn't spend a clients money on adwords for that reason alone.
