What is Google Sandbox?

[laragiles]

The Google Sandbox refers to an alleged filter that prevents new websites from ranking in Google's top results. Think of it like a probation period—even if you do everything right, your site won't get decent rankings until it comes to an end.

The Google Sandbox refers to a metaphorical term to explain why most new websites have very poor rankings in Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). It is commonly believed that Google has a filter that places all new websites under restrictions for a certain amount of time to prevent them from ranking. The new websites will be relegated to the sandbox once Google knows about the site.
