Google Sandbox stinks

[viradian]

My site has been online for just over a year. My site has been in Google's index for just over 9 months. My entire site is indexed, gets updated and new pages are added to Google's index relatively quickly.

It just irritates me beyond belief that I still don't show up in the serps for Google at all...I can go 1000 listings in, to where the keyword results are getting really ridiculous showing sites that are obscurely related to the search term, and I still don't show up.

I know there is a sandbox, but this is ridiculous. Has anyone else waited this long to show up in the results? I think I would feel better about this if more people were waiting it out like me. Also, anyone who just got out of the sandbox? It would make me feel like I will get out someday...maybe someday very soon...

hi. First of all f you are able to see you site anywhere in the google then you are not in the sandbox. The reason you may not be in top 10 is because yo do not have keyword density. For example i have a web site about ottoman empire and in my articles and links in my pages you will have alot of same words and words related to that particular word. When someone search anything related to ottoman empire my site shows in top 10. This may be the first reason. I dont know if you heard about this but having other sites linking to your website is very important as well. Just keep these in mind.

I'm not worried about being in the top 10 right now, I'm just worried about being listed at all...If I go 200 listings into the search results, I still can't find my site.

I have a lot of sites linking to me, I have written articles that show up in all the search engines...It just doesn't make sense.

And remember, I am listed number 1 in Yahoo for some of my major keywords and not listed at all for the same words in Google.
