Yes, this IS my week. I just found out that a domain that I bought last month and made a site for, is in the sandbox .. before I bought it even.

How to handle this? Just wait and see what happens with the new content on the site or take some action?

I also found out there's a small web2.0 link network already in place for this domain. And some manual link building has been done last year. Atleast that's something

    Are completely sure that it is sandboxed? I say continue to add new content and build links.

    To be honest, I do not even believe in the sandbox. I think it is something that doesn't really matter. I have thought I was in the sandbox before when I truly wasn't!

      I have to agree. I think sandbox is just something to point the finger at... but that's just my opinion.

      The sandbox theory only applies to those with no patience.

    Nice video.
    I bought the domain as is and since it is mentioned in the video that penalties are temporary, I'd like to wait and see for a while.

    thebitbotdotcom Great video, thanks for sharing.

    I think what Mike McAleer means is that more often then not, people who say there site has been sandboxed, haven't really got a clue.
