In my last post I spoke about the Google sandox and explained what it was, why we are put there and what we can do to get out of it.

I also mentioned that you can use the allinanchor or allintitle commands on Google in order to ascertain where your site may be placed once released from the sandbox.

Well here’s a funny thing. I have been working on a couple of sites recently providing SEO and the sites were indexed at different times approximately 3-4 months ago, both suddenly on the exact same day appeared to be freed from the sandbox with both sites jumping hundreds of places for some of their respective search terms.

I personally feel that this is real proof that a) Using the allintitle or allinanchor to ascertain post sandbox serps positioning, is a pretty good and reliable way of measuring your potential rankings and b) That it does look like Google appears to have a certain filter threshold period where multiple sites are let loose from the sandbox all at the same time.

I think that this is too much of a coincidence and in my mind is sufficient proof that the sandbox filter appears to be a probationary period that is set for new sites that are indexed within a certain period and then released on a set date in the future.

Another thing to note is that one site is in an extremely competitive niche(real estate spain) and the other a not such a competitive niche(golf holidays in spain).

So be patient, as like I said, if you perform regular SEO and keep acquiring good quality links, you will escape the sandbox and when you do, the links that you have been getting should shoot you up the serps.
