Google sandbox is for crooks not us honest guys

Came up with a great idea for a fun website - journal writing one step at a time. That's what the Word Count Journal is. Spent hard earned money to build it (thanks to our friends at Makalumedia, we got tremendous value for our investment). So we are getting ready for our private beta and I start sending out some announcements about the site. I hop over to Google expecting to see a link to our site when I search "word count journal" - no one else would consider using these three terms together. But then the news gets bad. I learn about the dreaded Google Sandbox. It is more like sitting in pergatory. The amazing Google, spanning the web with its mighty bot only to put my new site in a sandbox where no one can find it. Give me a break. Ok, they do it to stop the spammers, but why take us good guys down at the same time. All I ask is for my mom to be able to find our URL when she types "word count journal" into Google. That is the way most of us find websites these days anyways.
