It is possible to beat the sandbox affect however.

Here are some real life examples. A client had just purchased a domain relating to car hire. He was hoping to set-up a price comparison site. However we all know that car hire is a very competitive search term and the probability of achieving a Google Page Top 10 ranking in the short term I told him was non existent. He was looking at 6-8 months and would probably have to spend twice as much to achieve the same results if he had a more mature domain i.e. 18 months. I found a mature domain for him so he saved himself a lot of heartache and money
