If anyone who creates websites says “The Sandbox”, it is probably all that is necessary to make other web masters nod their heads in a minor display of commiseration. Any new site stands a chance of feeling the effect of the Google’s mythical sandbox where a sites search rankings are likely to be negatively impacted until it builds up some credibility.

The breast cancer site I built last week using devhub initially showed up quite quickly in the Google results. I thought, “Great! I stand a chance of getting this thing noticed.” Well I think I was a bit premature. The last couple of days the site hasn’t shown up at all when I looked for it. Even a new post with some carefully chosen long tail phrases aren’t appearing even though they should for those specific phrases.

It looks like I have my work cut out for me. If I can’t get the site appearing soon, it may be no use at all. With a deadline of early September for fund raising, I can’t afford to have the site completely off the radar.
