Google Sandbox

How to check whether site is in Google sandbox or not?
Does site in Sandbox mean that site is penalized?

 

Hi,
if your site is in the sandbox that means your site got penalty,
and that means you won't find your site on the search engine, even under your site's name or under your domain name search.

you can also check googlewebmastertool for that, sometimes they send you a message about that.

 

Sandbox does not mean penalty, new sites are also in sandbox.

 

yeah, a lot of young sites spend their childhood there if they do not conform 100%
you can get your site out of the sandbox.
you will know it is if you ranked high and now on page 7 - 10 ++
It only takes one out going link for google to kick you down.

 

if the site is in sand box then it means that the site is penalized, only those sites go to the sand box on the backlinks are made very fast

 

I think that is slightly off. I believe that if you are sandbox your site drops on the serps. If you are deindexed then you can not see your site in the serps. But you have to do something pretty stupid to be deindexed.

 

haha.... Give answers only when you really know it.

Not every site though. Some sites dont get sand boxed at all. It all depends on the niche your site is in

 

yeah, there is an ULTRA thin line for new domain. If you even look at Google wrong you get grounded, lol

 

It can be either penalized or not crawled

 

Google sandbox is a effect where the Google will not Crawl in to your site when your site is in Google sandbox.

 

If my website in google sandbox, How to check it? Any tools??? Whats the main causes google send one website in sandbox?

 

I disagree that if your site is in Google Sandbox your site won't get crawled.

No-one knows whether a 'Sandbox' actually exists, however it is common knowledge that many new sites will not rank for competitive search terms. For example, if you create a site and target words such as weight loss, casino, electronics, it will be very hard to get your site to rank highly for these keywords for an unspecifed period of time (however based on my previous experience and that of others I have read, this can last for a few months to a year).

It is however possible to rank quite well for keyphrases which aren't competitive - such as 'where is my local casino', 'Professional Diet Advice' or a particular product name which doesn't have much competition.

I created a brand new site in a very competitive niche earlier this year. Currently, not so competitive words I have rankings on pages 2-10. A few of the words I ranked in these positions not long after going live. For the main keywords, only recently has Google started to rank my site where it is visible, although between pages 30 and 40.

Google will still crawl your website if it knows it is there, you can do this by creating a sitemap and submitting it to google via webmaster tools, and building back links to your website (multiple ways of doing this, read the link development forum).

I believe the 'sandbox' or the way Google decides when/if to rank your site for competitive keywords is mainly to stop spam sites popping up quickly and not providing quality and relevant content to its users, as after all, if Google displayed nothing but pointless sites in the serps, who would want to search there?

Getting your site de-indexed is another matter - if you use blackhat techniques or methods deemed not to be following Google's TOS, they may de-index you, which means even if you type in your website name, it won't display your site at all.

Getting your site is all about trust with Google. If you play ball, be good, create some good unique content (don't copy and paste from other sites!) and have a healthly link building campaign - your efforts will be rewarded. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

 

NO, is not means you website penalized, it's join the google Observation Period, if you website ok, google will release you website.

 

Any one tell me how to check whether my site is in sandbox or not?

 

The funny thing about the Google Sandbox Effect is that there's no way to tell if you're actually in it or not. That's why I have always maintained it's simply a side-effect of Google's ranking algorithms - you build too fast, and you can't be ranked. So what does that mean? Your website is set aside until a big "sorting" of rankings comes through.

Anyway, the easiest way to tell is if you can't find your website for a low competition word that you have built numerous links with anchor text to on pages that are indexed by Google.

 

wasn't sandbox cancelled by google?

 

Hi,

1. http://www.socengine.com/seo/guide/sandbox-march-filter.html would be a nice service for your purpose
2. NO! Sandbox is a normal period when Google re-ranking sites.

all the best,

 

is there any tool to find out the site whether it is penalized or not

 

you can check in the google.com/webmasters/tools/ to find out the reason for the penalize

 

It's not always there by the way,
Sometimes you can't tell the reason for the penalty
