Sandboxed Sites - Back Together?

Do they come out together or one by one?

[McMohan]

Most of the new sites that I work with are still in the sandbox. Was just curios to know, if all the sanboxed sites come out of the sandbox during one fine major updation or one by one, over the rolling updates?

That is to say, should one be checking to see if the sites are out of the sandbox regularly or only when they know there is a major Google update? :)

Thanks

Congratulation, Powdork! That is indeed a great example. On the datacenter I hit when I searched for that, the most appropriate site for this query was listed by Google at position 335.

We should come up with a list of all such useful examples. If press gets hold of such a list of keywords and then compares the Google search with Yahoo or MSN beta, then this could make a interesting piece of story for them and they could even publish it.

Does anyone have any good contacts in press, maybe we could prepare a good report with all such examples and submit it to various news sites. Any ideas on how to go forward with this?

Could you illuminate be about this breast cancer thing?
Obviously, there is something you see that I don't.
What is special about this search?

(TIA) :)

Powdork, guess my spending time on your sandlag survey was well spent ;)

There is only one site that has this phrase as its official name and doesn't rank within 100. Search in MSN beta and you will know which site are we talking about.

Yes it was McMohan. I have lots of examples but this is definitely one of the best and most damning.

Try the search on Y G and MSN. There is one site that shows up in the top 5 on Y and MSN, but not in the top 300 on G. The site has been indexed since March, has over 900 backlinks from authoritiy sites and otherwise, is designed for the user, but can't be found on Google even when searching by it's exact and unique name.

In short, its one smelly googlefart.
Pull my finger.

Is this snowball starting to roll?

MHes - You suggest getting natural like links which are normally the authority sites in your chosen field is the key to success with Google, albeit slowly.

Steveb - You suggest getting links from sites/pages that already rank well for your phrase (normally sites that have established their authority status in the field) is the sure way to get sandboxed, which I read as something to stay away from.

Two contrasting opinions. Is there a middle ground?

McMohan - In fact I think Steveb and I agree. You need links from sites that appear in the same searches but you also want a 'natural' linking profile. If google suddenly sees 5 high pr links to a new site it will be suspicious, especially if they are not news sites.
