Nuttakorn, again you say 'your site' but it is not a site thing, it is a specific anchor text link thing.
eg, I am aiming for 8 phrases, all being built in the traditional manner of high quality low volume links. They are moving up, no problem. I then on the same site target another phrase, only this time I slap a whole host of site wide links to it on a few of my sites, giving me about 4-6000 backlinks, all with the same anchor text.

Initially the site flies in to the SERP's for this phrase, it sits there solidly climbing step by step for a few weeks, then BANG, it is gone, gone completely. But 'only for this phrase' The other phrases I am working on are unaffected as they are only having a handful of links being added, from different sites, and in ones or twos across a site.

Google is removing the anchortext benefit from those bulk links. In short, it is blocking the 'Googlebomb' Short term anyhow.

OWG..

If the sand box effect is only on the anchor text in the links....can you get the benefit of the link even if the anchor text is considered bad?

Will your google PR go up, even if you have anchor text that they are filtering it out?

Yep the PR will go up, it just seems to be the anchor text benefit that is prevented from scoring in the algo. SO you get the benefit of the link, but you don't get the anchor text (link content) benefit.
