Michael Martine’s last blog post..Five Ways to Tell You Need a Blog Consultant Are the sites ranking for their keywords as well?
I wouldn't call this google sandbox. I call it google honeymoon period. New websites / new articles sometimes get higher rank in google, it may just be some google algorithm trying to rank 'breaking news'.
Jeet’s last blogSEO should be free.

Wordpress is free.
I saw an article recently listing 10 free web site building tools. Most of them take a while to figure out. They won’t all let you do what you want to do. None were expandable to your own site if you ever wanted to take the next step, from “free” to “owning your [...]
I ran into an old friend recently. The usual questions were asked about what’s happened in the 20 years since we’ve seen each other. Yes, I do web sites.

Argh! Of course, after I’ve written the directions on how to use Wordpress, they come out with a new version, version 2.7, and changed the entire interface, so I have to rewrite the “how to” sections, with new screenshots, so they actually match what it really is like now.
