Sandboxed Sites - Back Together?

Do they come out together or one by one?

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

<< Based on the the most common search terms with which people are finding my blog I would certainly say that most are NOT sophisticated, but nevertheless I certainly see no evidence that people are turning away from Google. >>

The searchers in question are doing sophisticated searches, for technical questions. Maybe I shouldn't have worded it the way I did, it's the search terms that are sophisticated, not the searchers, I don't know anything about them. What I'm seeing now is something I've never seen before, growing numbers of technically oriented users not using google. This is the first time I've been getting any significant traffic from non google sources, that's why I think it's a significant point.

What you see on your site is about the same pattern I see on a standard commercial site I do, that's the inertia I was referring to, the standard user takes a lot longer to switch than your average geek, sort of the rats leaving a sinking ship idea, only google isn't really sinking, it's just making some pretty serious mistakes. Plenty of time to fix it, at least 6 months, but after that, I don't know, I'd sell my google shares sooner than later, well, I'd sell them now, they are at least 10 times over priced, that won't last forever.

I haven't given up on Google yet -

Rather, I search with "allintitle" :)

Gives me good results though
