Can anybody here clearly explain me about sand box?

I consider the Sandbox Effect a short period of time (2-6 months) that the search engine Google suspends a web page's actual ranking while attempting to determine the web page's legitimacy. The Sandbox Effect is often hardly noticeable in today's search engine results pages.

As Fred said, when your site is Sandboxed it means it is placed on hold, and does not appear on any of Google's searches for a specific keyword/phrase while they investigate the site. Most of the time they do so because they may have suspicions as to the legitimacy of the site and the methods used and implemented while doing SEO. Now, this varies, from site to site. A site can be placed in the "Sandbox" for two months up to five or six, depending on the severity of their suspicions.

Agreed keep updating your website buy using fresh unique articles.

It happens when google hold your website for being appear on any of Google's searches for any specific keywords. The cause can be because of copied content, keywords stuffing or any black hat deeds.
To overcome this problem update your website regularly with fresh content...

Thanks for your reply guys, got some idea about sand box. May i know the reason for sand box. How Google puts a site in Sand Box.

The Sandbox is a name given to an observation about the way Google ranks web pages in its index. According to the sandbox effect, Google temporarily reduces the page rank of new domains, placing them into what is referred to as its "sandbox", in an effort to counter the ways that search engine optimizers attempt to manipulate Google's page ranking by creating lots of inbound links to a new web site from other web sites that they own.

Hi,
When a new site indexed in search engines then search engines hold it in sand box for check that the site is relevant and useful or not, It's also check it should not be spam, etc, that's called google sand box.

Hi mark

I agree with you. whenever you submit new site in google then first it goes into sandbox for checking. after that your site will appear in google in terms of ranking. i want to convey one point here duration of time in sandbox average 6 months but it can vary from less than a month to over 8 months.

thanks

Sandbox is consider as a myth already... I don't believe in sandbox as well..

thank you for all the information..

article posting is the best way to get out of the google sandbox. an average time your website can stay in sandbox is around 2 to 3 months. in the mean time you should not stop seo. because when your website will get out your seo will help you to rank your website more quickly.

A lot of articles can be found in this respect and some even believe there is nothing called the Sandbox but anyway there are a period of time that webmasters need to wait before their new sites gain Google ranks.

The sandbox is implemented not only by requiring programmers to conform to certain rules but also by providing code checkers. The Java language itself provides features such as automatic memory management, garbage collection, and the checking of address ranges in strings and arrays that inherently help to guarantee safe code. In addition, Java includes a compiled code (Java's compiled code is known as bytecode) verifier that guarantees adherence to certain limitations.

I agree with Mark.

Sand box is only a place where Google holds each site before start indexing it first time. But Google perform it for each and every site exist in the net.

Yes, I agree with Mark121, Sand box are used for by the google search engine, to check the status of website(means site is really good or not to check it out).

Although it is not confirmed yet, new sites do usually disappear some time. They were "restricted" in some ways in performance, limiting their ability to do well in the SERPs for certain or all search terms.

This kind of phenomenon is referred to as sand box.

It is commonly agreed that the time of jailing in the sandbox is about 6 months.
