So, a "sandboxed" site can: Be be 100% indexed according to a "site:domain.com" search. Have better content than its competitors. Have better links than its compeititors. ... and still not appear anywhere useful in the SERP.... until X time has passed when it is allowed to rank. Have you tested this theory in a competitive / heavily spammed areas like credit, payday loans, mobile phones, viagra etc... i.e. are you able to jump straight into the SERP in these niches in the way you can with niche sites??? I can rank a "poodle training" site pretty quickly... but the over spammed niches I would say I my sites have been sandboxed. I have a new site which has been "sandboxed". It is 100% indexed. It is WH. It has good backlinks and good content etc. It is better than 90% of the other sites in the SERP... my rank on my main target keyword: Yahoo #1 Live # 11 Google #120 And it is absolutely stuck at #120... nothing will move it above that spot... Ref domains... supposedly hyphenated domains receive less "trust" from G.... so domains are indirectly relevant.
