That is interesting. i will have to think about this. Thank you very much for the suggestion.
I had a 3 year old site 6 months in the sandbox and here is what i did to get it out:
my site was indexed and had links built to it without the 'www', so hxxp://mydomain.org.
What i did was set the site to use the 'www'. So changed the site to hxxp://www.mydomain.org and after a few days my site was back from 700+ to number 22.
Basically negating the effect of most of the backlinks and enable me to start again and this time build the links carefully. I would rather have a starting position of no.22 and know now to build pyramids and buffer sites and blast away at those and not directly to my money site.
YOu may or may not want to do this depending on how much the exisiting back links are worth against waiting for who knows how long for your site to get out of the sandbox.
5 other sites i had in the sandbox i got out by building more links but using as much as 20 related keywords instead of 2 or 3 i was using. i also built some web 2.0 sites and blasted those with a wide variety of backlinks and they all came out of the sandbox in a matter of weeks.
So while previously having 7 sites in the sandbox i now have zero in sandbox.
My sites dance google for 1 week, positions 400, 500. If you write site: yourdomain You can see all your pages.
Later google sandbox. If you write site: yourdomain You can not see your pages but robot is tracking and indexing.
google sandbox and dance totally different.

? dude, have any of you heard of the breadcrumb techniques? this is WH SEO, ofcoarse. that can take you out of sandbox in as little as 2 months maybe, just maybe in 1 month.

Well, it is officially almost 2 years in the sandbox now, even with constant link building.
My sandboxed site is now PR3 with over 22k listed backlinks.
Can't wait any longer. I have finally filed a reconsideration request to google a couple of days ago.
lets see how this works out...

I agree 100%
I have pulled a lot of sites out of the sandbox with high PR links.
I am talking high PR on the actual PAGE, not just the domain.
In fact, I am talking about high PR HOMEPAGE links (not just subpages that got their PR from an internal link, yet have no external links pointing to the page).
Homepage PR links are VERY powerful because the homepage is generally where most, if not all, if the external links are going to.

I'm going to tell you something that you seriously should have done MONTHS ago.
Just buy an aged domain with an existing PR2 or better. You can buy those for $11 buy it now at godaddy auctions. Heck, you can buy PR3 aged domains like that sometimes. I do it all the time. Google: register compass
Recreate the whole entire site, and start all over again. Aged domains with existing PR are easier/faster to rank, AND they are a lot more resistant to the sandbox.
Build a link that is PR4 or higher, about once ever week or two. I am talking HOMEPAGE link. Use exact anchor text for the first link, then use a couple variations of it for the next PR links, then go back to exact anchor text, and kind of repeat that process.
So where to buy PR links? Don't BOTHER. Just buy domains with existing PR. Again, register compass.
I would have told you this AGES ago if I would have seen this thread...
I am sorry you have been dealing with this frustrating crap for 2 years now.
And don't bother with the google reconsideration; it wont help. If anything, they may just de-indexed the whole friggin site afterwards.

I think my site is out of the sandbox now. It has been a little stable on page 2 for about a week now. I am not sure what brought it out but there are the things that I did recently...
- Used AMR to submit lots of articles with non relevant keywords as anchor text.
- Reduced the density of affiliate links on all my pages. For example, if a review page had three links to a product, I dropped two and just left the one that gets the most clicks.
- I added a wordpress blog plugin to my site and started adding some fresh content on a regular basis.

Great! I believe finally your site is out of sandbox! I suggest you few more things considering the post panda update.
Interact with your visitors. Reply to the comments posted and engage in conversation. If there is no comment, then populate the same. Hire someone from Fiverr to post relevant comments on your blog. I have seen many sites ranking well with poor on-site/off-site SEO just by engaging in conversation with visitors and exchange more information about the topic covered in that post.
Social Media exposure- Create an account in Facebook & Twitter. Gain some fans and followers. Encourage visitors to like/tweet your post. Run some contest e.t.c...I don't know whether the social media influence the ranking or not, but there is no harm in trying right

Thank you for this suggestion. I was actually thinking about using scrapebox to blast my own blog..just a little bit..to get some activity going. I guess it is definitely a good way to make it look like it is popular.

Total bullshit - My site has again been sandboxed. Twice in the last month, it came out of nowhere to the second and first pages og Google and then gone back again. It is like the opposite of a Google dance. This sucks. I think it is time I scrap this thread and forget about this site.
