You've hit upon the very reason for the google "sandbox". If you want to get to the top of a competitive keyword and you have a new site you can't!

So when a new keyword pops up in existence (a new brand name of a product) no one can get any real advertising for free. The only way to get to the top is pay for sponsored listing which can cost big bucks!!

Suppose you started mass marketing on TV your own brand of widget. Let's call the widget "office unloader". Then you make a coporate website called ww.officeunloader.com and try listing it with google. Well it won't get anywhere near the top even though it is the only site that sells the "office unloader" product. If you want to get to the top you will have to pay for it. That's the reason behind the google sandbox.

Personally I hope google goes bankrupt.
