How do I Know if I'm Sandboxed?

Just wanted to check in. I haven't posted because of the featured article I posted a week ago. I wanted to give people a chance to check it out before I continued anymore blogging.

Anyway, lots to talk about:
I discovered a Google operator called "inanchortext:" It ranks websites depending on how many back-links they have with a particular keyword in the anchor-text. (I know, it's confusing, but bear with me). Normally, this wouldn't mean much, but I found it especially interesting for determining if your in the sandbox or not. Normally, a site with good on-page seo, that's well-aged and has a number of quality back-links will rank well in the SERP's. You see, a site with all these qualities should not only rank well, but also have a high ranking for the same keyword's "inachortext:" search. We assume this because Google places the majority of it's SERPs weight on back-links.

So in conclusion:

A site that has good on-page optimization, is well-aged, has a number of quality back-links and (breath) is ranked well in the keyword's "inanchortext:" query, yet buried in the same keyword's actual search results, is most likely SANDBOXED......
