You get put in the sandbox for the main search term(s) you're targeting and still get indexed for less relevant terms. It's Google's way of stopping new sites launching, getting hundreds of links really quickly and getting to the top of the search listings, it's so linking from other sites is developed naturally. Not everyone gets put in it, one way i've read of avoiding it is to use different search terms in your link anchor texts, not just concentrating on one, so Google sees the links as developing naturally. The average time for staying in there is from 6 - 12 months. If you search for sandbox or go on SEO forums there is lots of information. Wow, what a waffly reply, sorry!!
