This “sandbox” think is mention more and more. My new site have been online in around 2 months – All of my hits comes from different sites. Today I noticed for the first time that I have traffic from google.

Does that mean Í´m out of the sandbox?

…I´m not ranked in the toolbar still 0/10!

Jesper, the sandbox may or may not affect you if you have a .de domain. The jury is still out on whether the sandbox is placed on not .com domains and which domains those might be (.co.uk is probably sandboxed too for instance).

The prevailing theory on the sandbox goes something like this.

1) You launch your site and get a link pointing to it
2) Google finds your site and places it in their index
3) After a couple of weeks Google figures out how competitive the keywords are that you are trying to rank for and sandboxes your site for those terms (you can still get traffic from non-competitive terms)
4) You wait 6-18 months to be released from the sandbox and rank for the terms you are targeting
