Google Sandbox 2.0? Help!

[MartiKatFish]

I launched an ecommerce site at the end of last month and it was indexed pretty quickly. Been linked to a few times by decent sources and social activity looking good.

However, it doesn't rank for anything... even it's own brand name. It's not a keyword domain, it's just a 2 normal word but preety unique branding. It's absolutely nowhere.

It is indexed so no blocking issues or anything.

I saw recently on SEO Roundtable that Google may have started Sandbox 2.0 and also read somewhere that this lasts 30 days. It's now been over 30 days and we have a big promotion coming up in the next day or 2 and also an expensive print ad with a magazine that goes on sale next week. People searching for our brand can't find us.

We've had a lot of comments about this and it's going to kill us before we've started.

Anyone experienced this sandbox issue and anyone know how I can get it out of there?

Google has always done major updates and big data pushes every 90 days for many years now. There cycle really hasn't changed to much over a decade.

Sure you get minor shuffles happening all the time but I get the true value of for my initial SEO leg work start to happen everytime Google does one of these major updates.

Depending on the last update was and when the sites that have been SEO'd in relation to that last major update cycle I can generally get some sort of insight on whether or not where likely to get the value coming from the work -- the next update or the one after.

I wouldn't have said Google necessarily had a set "90 day cycle" ... be interested to get other people's views on this.
