		<description>Jim, 

I think you have gotten to the bottom line in your article. And you are right in asking if anyone has a clear answer to your question. Most so called "SEO's" are so full of bullshit that they don't even know the thruth when it hits them in their face - repeatedly! Many of the "authorities" out there are only looking to get business, and could care less about actually understanding what is going on. 

The most important thing I have learned in my time struggling with the "top 10" is to shut my mouth - and try to understand the patterns in front of my eyes. 

One of the big philosofers once said: "The more I learn, the more I realize how little I understand". I think he was right.</description>

		<description>Yes I have.

It's about aquiring TRUSTED LINKS -- nothing more.

It isn't a fixed length of time -- the sandbox lasts however long it takes your site to get trusted links.</description>
