Hi,

I had a 4 months old domain just sitting idle with 0 backlinks. I started affiliate marketing with it day before yesterday and I blasted AMR to my web 2.0 links + my own website.

My no.1 keyword came to spot 2 and no.2 keyword came to spot 5-7 of first page.

But today suddenly when I was making web 2.0's my website on the no.1 keyword disappeared :( its nowhere now :(

Although

My website on no.2 keyword is still on the same position.

Is my website sandboxed ? or it is just a G dance ?
 
Google dance = Your site moving up and down the rankings while Google works out where you should be ranked.

Google sandbox = Something mythical that people make up when they can't figure out why their site isn't ranking well.

Since your domain is still somewhat new and you are just building backlinks to it, you will be moving up and down constantly until Google knows where to rank you. Just keep adding content and building backlinks.

Definitely the way to go, doing this will give the spiders some new food some of which they'll take back to base to share :)

Feed them the best food you can.
The 'dance' is a time of assessment, your site is being taken away to an assessment room to be studied so g can decide where in the serp to put it. It then lets it back into the wild for a few days (if g thinks it's ready to be put back) to see how it fits in with everyone else nearby and so the cycle continues

Thank you .. Then I take it as a Google Dance ... :)
If website goes sandbox it does not appear on any keyword ? My website is still on another keyword but not on main keyword.

If you are sandboxed, you will not find your KW in any of the first few pages of Google and will be found on the 100th page or more possibly.
 
The exact same thing is also happening to one of my site. It is currently nowhere to be found. I say just keep adding backlinks slowly and I am sure it will be back up eventually.
