How long is the google sandbox these days?

Hello,
We have a site that is in the google sandbox
www.thewealthymind(dot)com
How long is the sandbox these days?
-
Seems like it's getting indexed (site:domain.com). Possibly not getting ranked high, but definitely getting indexed.
-
Why would you say that
thewealthymind(dot)com is performing so weak.
It was no-indexed no-followed for about 3 weeks.
Is there a solution?
-
Does it even exist? I have seen rankings go crazy after launch. Both resembling a sandbox and also a reverse sandbox. Is it real? I don't know, but remember Matt Cutts historically said "some things in the algorithm that may be perceived as a sandbox that do not apply to all industries".
So, I guess this perception of a sandbox is what we are talking about? I think it's tough to say, but in my experience I would say a couple of weeks to much longer.
I would be interested in what others would say!

Google Planner monthly keyword search vol. vs SEMRush
Hi, This is an example but if I enter 'architect This is an example but the same thing happens with most keywords - if I enter 'architect cornwall' into Google Planner it tells me there's 90 searches per month. If I enter this into SEMRUSH it tells me there's 320 searches per month. Can anyone explain the difference here - and is one more accurate than the other? Better still is there tool that's more accurate than either of these? I'm completely new to this by the way and the answer is probably obvious. Thanks!

What is the best way to research long tail search queries?
Hi, I am wondering if there is any special way to seek out long tail search queries? For example, when I search in Adwords or Ubersuggest for a particular group of keywords, I only ever seem to get 1 to 3 keywords. I am looking for the longer search terms like actual questions i.e. "Where is the best yoga studio in Doncaster?" Currently I rely on not hitting in Google in enter but I figure that there must be a better way? Thanks guys!

Why do my keyword ranking differ from the results on Google ?
I've been working on a specific campaign for a couple of days, and been noticing that my keyword ranking is much different on my campaign than in reality. I tried my keyword on Google (with the same settings I have on my campaign) and my keyword ranks at #5 instead of not in 50, as indicated on my campaign. Can someone give me a hint on this issue ? Thank you !

Are my urls too long or spammy?
Hello, what are your thoughts on these urls. I have had them like this for years, I got hit hard from Google in May last year. Do you think this contributed? Would it be beneficial for me to make them shorter? http://www.ditalia.com.au/couture-dressmakers-seamstresses-tailors-couturiers-and-fashion-design-advice/cocktail-gowns http://www.ditalia.com.au/wedding-dress-wedding-dresses-and-bridal-gowns-designed-and-made http://www.ditalia.com.au/designer-fabrics-designer-fabric-italian-material-and-french-lace/french-lace http://www.ditalia.com.au/wedding-dress-wedding-dresses-and-bridal-gowns-designed-and-made/vintage-wedding-dresses

How do I determine international search volume for a search term, beyond google?
I am trying to determine which countries I should be entering into next with my product based on search volume and competition. The issue is that not every country has google as their primary engine, ie. China. How would I go about figuring out volume / competition globally across all engines?

Google keyword tool no data for a KW- what to assume in this case?
There are cases when google keyword tool shows just a dash - means no data available and google suggest just use global volume instead. But what if we want to know only local search volume? what should we assume in this case? Does that mean local volume is 0 or it can still be respectable volume & its just Google couldn't find data ?

SEO research via Google Adwords
I've read several times of this technique for determining if a particular keyword phrase is worth the effort of optimizing for in organic search. In Adwords create an Ad Group with a single exact match keyword phrase and let it run in Adwords until you have enough clicks to measure valid results (I've often heard 200-300 clicks). If you are unable to convert the search term via paid search, the theory goes, it's probably not worth the effort to rank top 3 for that phrase and you should put your efforts elsewhere. Do any of you use this strategy? If so, have you found the results to be pretty consistently accurate? Thanks, Mark
