    Google Sandbox is like a naughty corner that Google developed. Your site if to new and worked on to much as in to many backlinks to soon when first registered can land up in Google's sandbox. It can take up to 6months for your site to be put back onto the SERPS's. I hope this helps.

    If Google sees that you have built a large number of links in a very very small span of time then it has a special place for your site which it calls the Sandbox. It will place your site there for 3-5 months while at the same time looking at your site for any change in links and traffic. If it seems fit you will go back in the rankings race, otherwise... lets just say you will have to start all over again.

    30,000 links on a new site will definitely get you sandboxed. It might even get you deindexed. I don't recommend that at all.

    thanks guys..so it takes up to 5-6 months to engage in SERP race. So this means if a site get sandboxed, no organic or search engine traffic

    I usually blast with huge backlink after 5-6 month. So it can avoid your site from sand box, IMHO article marketing is the safest backlink. Hope it will give you more information.

    No one is sure of what happens to the pagerank. Mine was sandboxed but i continued to build the backlinks later it jumped out. But never build lot of backlinks a day cuz google will penalize.

    google sandbox is an older term that means your site is essentially removed from search results. When Google sandboxes your site it is essentially erased from the internet as far as search goes. I have seen sites getting 200 search hits per day get knocked down to zero overnight once they get put in the Google sandbox. The google sandbox exists because a lot of sites pay for their links and use tactics to make their site the first result in search results.

    Google put your site in the sandbox to allow you to play as much as you like without effecting search, profiling and ranking data. When the site is used in a more mature way it will be allowed back into the fold to play with the rest.

    Google sandbox is just a theory to explain why your new site may rank poorly or even not at all. Most webmasters think its true, but in my eyes its no different than the google dance. If you do proper on page SEO then you shouldn't have a problem. This is just googles way of trying to determine your sites relevance compared to all the other sites for a specific term.

    Nearly every one of my sites has been indexed and ranked within the 3-4th page within just 30 days. I have one site that I made sure has proper on page SEO and even build backlinks to and is still not indexed. I have no clue why, but im sure with time it will rank well.
