This is really annoying. Ever want to see what the google sandbox looks like:

I thought people might find this pretty interesting. it’s from a relatively small mini-site (few dozen pages at most). we did a 301 on the entire domain to a subdomain on an existing domain that wasn’t sandboxed

This is a big problem. I could move my blog over to using feedblog.typepad.com or something of the sort or I could just wait it out for 6-12 months for the sandbox on my domain to expire. The main question becomes whether or not this is a good strategy. Would my pagerank be harmed by the typepad.com domain since I could rise above the rest of the blogs on the site? I’m honestly not sure.

I the end it’s a bit maddening since Google won’t talk about this. I guess this is why SEO is so important.

Feedbuzzard has more on this topic…

Update: I probably don’t want to do this as it would tie me to using Typepad for the rest of my life.
