Q and A: Is my site in the Google Sandbox?
Dear Kalena...
I have owned a site of more than 70 pages for 1 month. Even Google indexed a part of them and I submitted to other directories, but I have no visitors (health.com.md). Where is my mistake? Does this mean that I am in Google sandbox? Thank you all for your time.

Dear Oleg
Google last indexed your site on 18 April so at least some pages of the site are being indexed. If the site is only a month old, then it is highly likely that you are experiencing Google's "sandbox", more accurately known as the Aging Delay, which can effectively make new sites invisible in Google for up to 9 months.
I see that you have a Google verification meta tag in the site, so you have likely uploaded an XML sitemap and verified your site in Google's Webmaster Tools. You should check your site's statistics here regularly to ensure it is being fully indexed and also track the Google search queries the site is being found for.
Once your site is released from the aging delay, you will start to see the number of search queries increase and your traffic will soon follow.
