google sandbox effect

It appears that Travel Insurance Now is still languishing in Google's "sandbox", around nine months after the domain was registered. When I first created the site, reciprocal links were created to it from several other UK insurance sites. I even devised a "link agent" program which employed other people to apply for reciprocal links on relevant websites. However, despite accumulating a page rank of 4, Travel Insurance Now is still not listed in Google for any of the key search phrases.

Unfortunately Google's "sandbox effect" means this site is crippled, compared to its competition in the insurance market. The other search engines provide just a fraction of the traffic that Google does.

Does anyone have any ideas how I might break the site free of the sandbox?
