"Google SandBox - An Introduction The Google SandBox is a metaphorical term coined by SEOs and Webmasters, not associated with Google, to explain why most new Websites have very poor rankings in Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). The existence of Google SandBox has not yet been clearly proved but there seem to have some changes to Google's Algorithm sometime around March 2004 that denies top ranking for newly launched web sites. Of course, there are exceptions and many Web pages have made it to the top of the SERP in spite of the sandbox, but the sandbox seems to be an inevitable page rank dampening concept. In November 2003, Google implemented what was popularly known as the "Florida Filter", a filter added to the Google Algorithm to reduce spam. The "Florida Filter" proved to be a disaster as it wiped out many small online shops but didn't fight spam producers as much as it was expected to. Spammers and link farms generate zillions of websites and millions of links every day adversely affecting the SERP rankings of certain legitimate sites. Thus Google might have decided to keep away new sites from getting good ranks till they proved themselves. How It Works? It seems of late Google has been withholding high ranking ability of newly launched websites for 2-4 months. The penalty is applicable to new sites only and doesn't affect domains that are 4 or more months old and have good backlinks. The sandbox effect also doesn't affect new pages on long standing websites. After the newly launched websites prove their worthiness by developing good back links and spend some time on the web they are given a weight and eventually the sandbox effect goes away......"

Thanks for information.. but I don't think it's fair for any new website.. if they have good quality also good content.. they should not be put in Sandbox
Each and every website has been put in sandbox. There is no exception for any site but yes if the site is good and content is unique there is a chance that site gets out of it earlier.
Inevitably the task before search engine service providers for filtering out sites that don't confirm to the standards and regulations they require is a big one. As such Google seems to have taken this decision for instituting this technological measure referred as 'sandbox effect'. However some sites with good content have been given good ranking early and even got their ranking increased soon in SERPs, according to some observers; and there seems to be a reverse effect too.
As I mentioned on another stream. The Sandbox per se doesn't exist. Just how sites with poor SEO advice react
Sandbox is the place for google to keep the domain that like quarantine. our domain can be use, but at google is extra vision to look at our domain
If there are "exceptions" then doesn't that prove that there is no actual sandbox? Unless of course those "exceptions" have had the hand of God (ie Google human intervention) put upon them and a "get out of jail free" card has been issued to them.
The Google Sandbox Effect is a theory used to explain why newly-registered domains or domains with frequent ownership changes rank poorly in Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). In other words new websites are put into a “sandbox†or a holding area and have their search ratings on hold until they can prove worthy of ranking.
sandbox means that some websites can not work very well . it is either slow or it can not express whole content at once! yes! it is so mysterious, it is rare!
