Well, my experience is roughly the same as yours, which is, other than pages selected by the "freshbot", it takes 8 to 12 weeks for a domain to settle in at it's baseline ranking position. Which is roughly the same length of time it's been for the last four years.
Not that I actually time it, this is just the impression I get, because, as I said, I believe in letting domains age a bit before I really start developing them.
So, two more questions:
1. Do you guys see language about "ageing delays" and anti-spam delays in the new patent?
(I haven't read it, so I don't know if there are or are not.)
(cd34, Sparky, I think you said you read it, did you see anything about "ageing"??...)
and 2. Why is Jil Whalen, Queen of the White Hats, talking about the sandbox like this?
"it's my belief that the sandbox is basically a purgatory database where Google places certain URLs based on a variety of predetermined criteria. (Much of this is spelled out in the first part of the patent application.)
The aging delay, on the other hand, is actually a subset of the
sandbox. In other words, the aging delay is just *one* reason why a URL might get placed in the sandbox."
Is she just an idiot or what?
