The thing is, if you fully believe in what you're talking about on your site, and you know you haven't been pulling any black hat tactics, then you can talk to Google about getting your site unbanned. It's not impossible. Don't give up on a site that is working, even if it's taking slightly longer to get traction than you expected.

I think you're absolutely correct. Here's the good news. That means those who do find what it takes to self-motivate are that much more ahead of the curve.

I have seen a first page ranking on one data center while another data center showed no ranking within 100 pages. It's definitely weird but can happen. I wouldn't worry about it - just keep working on it and you will eventually get a more solid page 1 ranking. Aaron I’ve actually seen difference much larger than that.

The nice thing about keywords with little competition is that you can get ranked more quickly. I have site that target both types because they both have their advantages.

The reason I ask is that some of my sites show up on the first page at <a href="http://mcdar.net/dance/" rel="nofollow">McDar</a>, but in individual Google searches they are on the 4th or 5th page. I realize the datacenters are different, I just wouldn't think they'd be THAT different. Cheers.

So as a beginner I should choose between a moderately competitive keyword that has more income potential if I'm patient and work hard and it gets a high ranking in Google, or a less competitive keyword that will rank me higher quicker but in the long-run not have as much income potential - am I right? Or do both have the same income potential? Personally I'm leaning toward not-very-competitive keywords. Great post.

So as I understand it the right thing to do is sit and watch for few more months. It seems that my site is classic for the sandbox by your definition.
