I tried it for one of my sites, and it found the site on page 12. With a regular Google search it won't even show up within the first 30 pages.

Hi there

I used the sandbox tool and found that my total score was 36.4 for my site www.costplusjuicers.com . It said that it was a very light case of sanboxing. Should I do anything about it. If yes can someone give me some ideas to check first and what changes I should make or what steps should be taken from here.

I am not sure how I feel about the scores that the detection tool presents. Take your site, and post the info like I did earlier, and someone can tell you their opinions. As far as the the instances I presented above, I'd say some keywords are sandboxed much more than others. I don't know how much weight I give to the "special number" the detection tool gives you - it's the first time I have really had a look at them. But even without that number, I'd definatly would say I have some effect placed on some keywords.

I think wlh had a good suggestion when he said we should be writing this stuff donw. I hate paper, and decided to post the results here. If we had enough people do that, maybe we could find a pattern to all of this? We could also see who is the "King of the Sandbox" - who is really getting kicked in the you-know-what by the sandbox. I have at least one more site that I know is experience an effect for one of its' keywrods phrases that I just found last night, and I also found my past client, eatstayplay, is also in the box for one of thier keywords. I will try to post those scores later today.
