Actually people have a little confusion whether Sandbox exist or not But according to my opinion it exists. It is a normal practice that a new website / web pages or blogs are not visible to search engines in their early days but after some days or weeks or may be months search engine indexed those pages and starting to showing them. The most common indication that your site or blog is going to penalized is if your site is not showing up in a search for keywords that you’re clearly optimizing for. The first thing you’ll notice is a sudden, drastic decline of traffic.
The Google Sandbox is an algorithmic filter designed by Google and implemented around March 2004 with the purpose of weeding out spam sites by placing all new websites under quarantine for a period of assessment.
This is the period where in your site is not being index by Google. Some says that this is due to inconsistent link building and drastic building links. So is your site is just new you must be careful in making links for your site.
