I am sure that by this time you know that the “Google Sandbox” does exist.
Although that is not how they call it at Google. Anyways the point is there is this interesting thread at SearchEngineWatch forums titled

Getting Out Of Google Sandbox Using Subdomain & Redirection

that might give you some insights on how to escape the Sandbox. DaveN a moderator at the forums and the initiator of the thread says

ok get an old domain, something which google crawls, then put a subdomain on it … newsite.olddomain.com original and copy the site exactly on the sub as it is in the orginal date last modifed to a few months after the domain was first registered … yer i know that makes all the content look really really old … lol

Add a link from the www. oldsite.com to the newsite.oldsite.com forget about seo anchor text links, these are just to let google in.. now 301 the subdomain to the new site …. chicago brain freeze still going on lol

.

Now that seems like an idea that might work. So do give the thread a read. For more info on the Google SandBox you may also want to read this article by me titled “What is Google Sandbox?”

Happy Optimizing,
