    If the website start disappearing in Organic Google Search Results then we can say it is sandboxed by Google.

    All Google sandbox really is is a place where Google places a new website until it gains trust. On the other hand, if you were ranking in a particular place in the SERPs, but suddenly disappeared, it could just be the Google dance or your site may have been banned. Google sandbox has nothing to do with banning.

    To check if your site has been banned in google, just look at the PageRank bar on the Google toolbar. If it was anything other than gray before, but is now gray, your site may have been banned. Also, just do a search in Google for your actual website url, like search for "yoursite.com". If no pages of your site show up, but they were once there before, your site may have been banned.
