And it's because this domain is new and aged just a month. Now I can't find it anywhere for my keyword, and even for the domain name itself. It's annoying for sure but many suggestions to keep building the site that one day it'll come up the deserved ranking. I hope so. My blog now, I supposed, is in Sandbox.

The biggest issue is of course being able to find aged domains that are keyword rich to your niche. I found this free website that allows you to search multiple keywords at a time for a domain, and then get this. It shows page rank and the age of the domain. Apparently some of these nearly expired domains have existing page rank. Actually you can search for all types of aged domains, but I only search the "buy now" domains with a price of $5. Among my finds so far was a 2 year old domain with a page rank of 4 ! and a 9 year old domain keyword rich. Both were $5. The website is at <a href="http://www.aged-domain-finder.com" title="www.aged-domain-finder.com" rel="nofollow">www.aged-domain-finder.com</a> There are probably other websites out there offering similar things, but I haven't found a site that has a comprehensive search capability and then shows automated age and page rank. Gee I sound like a fan, don't I :) Best, Mike Hey great article,

I have some questions about the Top Commentator plugin, but am having trouble finding definitive answers. Specifically - what is the field that identifies the top commentators? I assume one would have to keep the Name consistent (so, Cheap Anime Games in my case) but is it possible to vary the link, thus also sending links to an interior page?

The degree of the sandboxing can vary as can the time you're sandboxed based on the factors I mentioned above as well as others. Getting out quickly for your target term generally isn't possible although I suppose if you picked up some high powered links, for example, links from several well known and older news sites, you could break out early. Other than that unlikely scenario, you just have to live with it. Also, I've found that if sandboxing happens that de-monetizing (getting rid of Adsense in particular) and switching to alternative and long tail keywords seems to lessen the effect to some degree.

But, I have a basic question. How do I know whether my blog is sandboxed or not. Is there anyway to find this? If a blog has been sent to sandbox, is there any quick way to fix the problem? Thanks.

Asia'h was a great example of the uniqueness of information idea. Too bad she got sent home early. EDIT: Clever use of the Top Commentator plugin BTW. I didn't know it did that.
