Google sandboxed sites seem to be released in this datacenter http://66.102.7.99

Everyone must have heard of the dreaded google sandbox algorithm where a new site or a site which gains more backlinks in a short period of time gets into sandbox where it fails to rank for competitive terms,

it seems google has finally clicked the magic switch in these datacenters

Cindy McCaffrey plans to leave google marketing Job,

It seems cindy mccaffery has planned to leave google, She has been a core person in google’s marketing department and it is a big lose for google,

Silicon beat says, www.siliconbeat.com/entries/2004/12/19/mccaffrey_leaving_google.html

Google’s vice president of corporate marketing, is leaving the technology

company, the first top executive to depart after the IPO. McCaffrey has been

chugging away at the P.R. business for 20 years, including gigs at Apple

Computer, E*TRADE and the 3DO Company. And that’s after starting a career as a

journalist. She’s been at Google more than five years, which means that,

post-IPO, she can comfortably go off and do nothing. And that’s apparently what

she intends to do for now

Does google lag / sandbox algorithm really exist or it is just a type of spam filter and the new site penalty is just a myth?/?

Check the top 10 results for tsunami,

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tsunami

this site tsunamihelp.blogspot.com is completely new but ranking in top 3 for the keyword tsunami, It is breaking our head what causes some new sites / new pages with sudden boost in backlinks not appearing in the top results of google,

Has been seeing lot of theories across various forums but none of them give real quality targeted information we need,

So what causes this sandboxing of sites, will it ever get released ?????
