I am eager to know the Google sandbox. I know there is such feature in Google but haven’t tried it out yet. I have heard a lot about it though. I cannot understand the build up and commotion that surrounds it. All I know is that if a site is not doing well or if it does something unethical with SEO tactics, it is sent to the sandbox. I also heard that other search engines such as Yahoo and MSN aim to make and introduce to the public a similar one, just exactly like the Google Sandbox. What can you say about it? I know there are a lot of ways to prevent your website from being Sandbox. But who knows how?
The question is... Does Google Sandbox even exist? Does anyone even have some authentic evidence about it?/
Sandbox is a complete myth... Google representatives have confirmed this. It is very true that Google filter websites that are doing illegitimate exercises for improving their rankings but this is not sandboxing. If you wipe out all the bad things from your website you can rank high in search results again.
You've got to remember most new sites end up in a so called "sandbox" mainly because there SEO efforts were to aggressive and don't look natural.
Just keep working (link building) and improving your site and you will in time reach the top. It takes time and patience.... that is what we all deal with daily.
The purpose of sandbox is a to stop spam sites. The way to avoid being in the sandbox is not compete for high ranking and high competitive keyword.
Basically most sand boxes are where developers can try out their applications before publishing on the internet. Get a feel how they will look and perform. I would rather be out of the sand box and in the cloud.
