Sandbox Part 3

We've talked before about the Google sanbox effect (here and here) and it's effect on the traffic you see from google. The older site which had been sandboxed upon being restored last week had started to show the first signs of leaving the sandbox and appearing in the appropriate SERPs. A few days later as Google's Webmaster Tools updated we saw as of the 27th of September (ironically the day we posted about the site exiting the sandbox!) the number of impressions virtually quadruple within two days.

Google's Webmaster tools, as you can see, now tells us that the site gets 9,900 impressions per month (which we expect will be around 22,000 once a full month of data has been collected) and rose to nearly 800 impressions per day within 2 days.

The graph above shows google's stats from 4/9/2010 to 4/10/2010 - a period where we had not made any changes to the site or done any SEO work. Nor had we worked on the site 2 weeks before the data shown!
