| The "sandbox" is a theory some believe and some dont. I do believe some form of it exsists. As you know many websites owners are purchasing links including high PageRank links (paying big money monthly) and are creating tons and tons of link exchanges to enhance their sites in the search engines.
To market your site in the search engines -you must build links to it and owners are getting more and more clever in doing this process. Before the "sandbox" a new website could simply purchase a few PR9 links and have a strong PR presents very quickly.
To slow down the process (and stop/slow down the purchasing of links)Google is "evaluating" links to determine their proper credit. Some aspects Google could be "evaluating" on our theme, IP, anchor text, PR, and amount of links - but no one really knows exactly but basically Google puts your new inbound links on the backburner for a few months before it is credited. |
