Sandbox is a recycle bin of google we can say If a website goes in the sandbox then its very difficult to regain its ranking on google.
No i though sandbox was for sites who optimize for high traffic keywords - it has nothing to do with ban..
Sandbox is a Google penalty or you can say it is the way Google ranks web pages in its index. It is really very harmful for newly created websites. Stays in the Google Sandbox can vary from one to six months, depend on your site structure.
How can you be sure of if you have been thrown into the sandbox? If feel like one of my first sites was, but I never actually new about this term back when I had first started.
Sandbox is time frame based filter which keeps new websites under moderation which are trying to rank for high traffic keywords. The sandbox time period can vary from a month to 6 months.
Google sandbox means 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.It is a theory used to explain why newly-registered domains or domains with frequent ownership changes rank poorly in Google Search Engine Results Pages...
Since google panda and then google penguin, more website sandbox even with their generic name. Some my websites with it's generic name get sandboxed after so long retain the #1 ranks for its generic keyword ex : mywebsite.com #1 for keyword "my website".
I think Sandbox is a temporary dump, it could be a penalty room or it could be a waiting room while changes are being processed. Many a time a site can get out of the sandbox after fixing the site, so it is not a permanent situation. Recently, it seems google has removed the sandbox from view, i mean it's there but not displayed anymore.
[h=2]Reverse sandbox effect[/h] A "reverse sandbox" effect is also claimed to exist, whereby new pages with good content, but without inbound links, are temporarily increased in rank—much like the "New Releases" in a book store are displayed more prominently—to encourage organic building of the World Wide Web.[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] David George disputes the claim that Google applies sandboxing to all new web sites, saying that the claim "doesn't seem to be borne out by experience". He states that he created a new web site in October 2004 and had it ranked in the top 20 Google results for a target keyword within one month. He asserts that "no one knows for sure if the Google sandbox exists", and comments that it "seems to fit the observations and experiments of many search engine optimizers". He theorizes that the sandbox "has introduced some hysteresis into the system in order to restore a bit of sanity to Google's results".[SUP][4][/SUP] In an interview with the Search Engine Roundtable website, Matt Cutts is reported to have said that there are some things in the algorithm that may be perceived as a sandbox that do not apply to all industries.[SUP][7][/SUP] Jaimie Sirovich and Cristian Darie state that they believe that, while Google does not actually have an explicit "sandbox", the effect itself (however caused) is real.[SUP][6][/SUP]
