Greetings

I'm newbie here, and to SEO in general.
I keep reading this term about goggle sandboxing a site. What is meant by that please?
Any details for a newbie is much appreciated.

Also, I have a forum site, and from day one I used a good SEO mod, so in 3 days all forums and topic pages got indexed in google. But my PageRank is still 0 (white, not grayed). What does that mean? and why is that? and what can I do to get some rankig?
I added a link to he new site in a another 5 year old site that I own, with PR 4 (used to be 5) but the 2 sites are not relevant. Was that a bad thing to do?

Good question! I too would like to know what Google sandboxing refers to?

sallam,

You said "so in 3 days all forums and topic pages got indexed in google."

How do you go about finding out how Google indexed everything as you explained above?

I type:

allinurl:domain.com

or edit the following to your own domain:
http://www.google.com/search?q=allin...n&lr=&filter=0

You can also search how many posts are indexed in specific, (or anything else in particular, replacing 'post' with whatever you have in mind), by typing:

allinurl:domain.com inurl:post

The replies to the above thread can help you know what a sandbox is all about.
