Grab your bucket and spade...

[devox]

Hi all,

I have a problem with one of my sites and think it may be related to the sandbox effect....does anyone know of a good article/paper/thread that was written which i could read and find more out.

I've looked at threads around and the ones i have seen are related to individual cases and don't seem very theoretical.

I would be greatful if someone could point me in the right direction...

Many Thanks :o

I doubt you'll find anything more than theory and speculation.

What specifically is the problem you're having?

I've logged the public coverage of the story breaking out on Platinax News - however, if it's the actual theory behind it, then Rand Fishkin looks at some of the issues in his article here:

It certainly makes for stimulating erading, but the problem is that there's still a lot of speculation about.

Thanks for the recommendation Brian :) - I'm also working on a sandbox detection tool, but it is very tricky to build... I'll release more information when it's ready.
