sandbox links

[Linda]

Does anyone have any ideas on how not to trigger a sandbox. For example, if I start a brand new site and get 2-3 one way links a week, mixing up the anchor text and get 2-3 reciprocal links as well...would this be too many? My first site ended up sandboxed and the rankings only started to break the top 200 after 4 long months.

It's hard to give numbers... If you turn like 500 links one shot... it raises a flag obviously. This is 6 links a week, for 24 to 30 links a month... not exagerated IMO. I'd even go for a bit more...

So with curiosity... is this a sandbox? I have "137" links in G, yet when you click through them, it only shows 2 real domains: mine and a site I did a reciprical with that had several
"partner-domain.com/index.php?sid=284660195&t=sub_pages&cat=71"
Do you think the rest are "sandboxed"? Check it out and flip through the pages (notice the page count at the bottom on G change from like 12 to 2 after you click page 9)http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=link%3Awww.realestatepacificbeach.com&btnG=Google+Search

And I really do have several other link partners and one-ways to this site but they don't show up.....
Comments are appreciated.

How new are the partner sites? If there not new then there not under the sandbox effect.

Sandboxed is where they (G) don't show your backlinks for certain links if they are too new (the pages the links are on) and most likely too many too fast.... It's kinda a "protection for fraudulent links" cause it won't let them show up for a couple months
At least this is how I understand the term.

Anyone else care to comment....
:D

San Diego, that's pretty strange (but not related to sandbox) IMO. Shows 137 BL's click to view omitted results you still only get two pages. Tried the advanced search to show 100 results with omitted included and it still only displayed 20.

You must have triggered that new highly secretive filter that I've been reading about. It only applies to very sharp looking websites (smiley here)

Seriously though, anybody else seeing this?

Google basically never shows you all the results even if you press the give them all to me button. But I usually miss a few links... like 10-20 that never get displayed... Always been like this... but not 100's missing.
