hey, Sandbox was created in order to stop the new sites if they were found using Black Hat SEO techniques to attain high rankings very quickly.
Sendbox is a one type of safety mechanism for separating running programs. It is often used to perform untested code, or untrusted programs from unverified third-parties, suppliers and untrusted users.Sandbox leverages the OS-provided security to allow code execution that cannot make persistent changes to the computer or access information that is confidential.
Please look into the discussion - Google sandbox FAQ - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=71522
Hey guys, use search to find whether your question was asked earlier, before starting these type of threads.
I personally do not believe it exists...because I have had BRAND NEW sites rank very highly immediately.
I believe this guy is not referring to the sandbox on your computer but to the Google sandbox. The Sandbox (a.k.a. Sandboxing or the sandbox effect or the Google penalty) is a name given to an observation about the way Google ranks web pages in its index. It is the subject of much debate—its existence has been written about[1][2] since 2004[3] but not confirmed, with several statements to the contrary. (Thank you, Wikipedia!)
