I registered site before 5 months. Before three weeks, the site starting getting 500 unique visitors from Google every day. That last for 10 days only. I had a high ranks for 4-5 keywords and they went or almost disappeared from Google. During these 10 days, I changed the title tag to target more similar keywords by using the pipe sing (|), and the change helps a lot after google crawled the site again.

The site does not rank for those keywords at all, not even in the first 15 pages of google!

Is this a sand box issue or spam issue?

Sounds completely normal to me. It's the way new sites generally work with Google's aging delay.

Can I consider going out the sandbox for few days a positive sign?
Is there any way to reduce the sandbox period delay?

My understanding is that the best way to get out of the sandbox is to get quality sites linking to your site. One way is to use Randy's handy dandy common link finder. It will show you who other sites in your niche are getting links from and you might approach them for links to your new site.

Not really. Tis the way it's always been, even before there was an aging delay. Google has always given brand new sites a brief pass on some ranking factors (read: Inbound Links) because they know brand new sites simply aren't going to have as many high value links as some site that's been up and going for 5 years. But the brief pass has never lasted. Now the drop is simply more pronounced with the aging delay, where moderately competitive search terms are concerned.

See Lise's answer above. The only way I know of to get an early out is to create sufficient buzz about your site so as to garner some links from very high quality sites. Which of course means you have to have a really good site to start with, and a marketing angle that causes people to discuss what your doing and link to your site.
