whats the max time for a sandboxed site in the big G
 

for one of my sites i was competing for a premium adult keyword in google til it got sandboxed... i know when a site comes out of the sandbox it will be around that spot again so i gradually kept building links for it, just having patience.... but it takes long as hell.
Ive reached the 6 months mark now.... aint that the maximum amount of months or can it be sandboxed even longer? Personally ive never had a site sandboxed for more than 6 months.

I was going to say, 6 months is the maximum amount of time.

I am usually only in the box for a couple of months but one time it lasted about 9 months.

damn, that sucks.....

how do you know it is a "sandbox" per se, and might not be just a penalization which can last forever?

nico-t is a playa :pimp

FOREVER! No shit. :(

because i am still high in the serps for the less competitive keywords, plus my site still has PR. Ive read that sites who are penalized arent listed for any keywords/phrases and have a PR of 0 or a grey bar.

btw yesterday ive read some more about the sandbox effect... The more competitive the keyword is that you are sandboxed for, the longer it takes to get out.
i.e. if your sandboxed for "amputee fucks midget" it takes 2 to 3 months tops. But if it's for example "porn" it takes 6 months OR MORE!
