What is Google Sandbox?

[dennis123]

he Google sandbox refers to a commonly held belief that Google has a filter that places all new websites under restrictions for a certain amount of time to prevent them from ranking in searches. The idea behind the Google sandbox is that newer websites are not as relevant as older sites, and they are also more likely to be spam. For this reason, they are restricted and allowed to mature before being allowed to rank well, much as a young child is placed to play in a sandbox by his or her caregiver.

The Google Sandbox is much related to a new website being placed on probation, and kept lower than expected in searches, prior to being given full value for its incoming links and content. The Sandbox acts as defect experimentation for sites, possibly to put off spam sites from rising quickly, getting banned, and repeating the process.

The Google Sandbox is an alleged filter placed on new websites. The result is that a site does not receive good rankings for its most important keywords and keyword phrases. Even with good content, abundant incoming links and strong Google PageRank, a site is still adversely affected by the Sandbox effect.

Definition of Google Sandbox. Google Sandbox refers to a hypothetical mechanism that factors a website's age (or lack thereof) into its ranking on popular keywords.

Google Sandbox is generally used for websites which are newly launched and then arouse the suspicion of Google, usually by adding a large amount of new content in a very short period of time. This appears to Google as spam; and the Sandbox is essentially a spam filter which watches for suspicious activity, reasoning that a site which adds enormous numbers of new posts, pages and content instantly is probably filling itself with duplicate content or engaging in search engine spamming.

Google Sandbox acts as a temporary filter for new websites before they can go live on Google search results page.

The concept of sandbox is about reducing the page rank of newly created domains temporarily. This strategy is done by Google so that the wrong optimizing methods applied by the SEOs (to outsmart Google’s page rank) don’t succeed. The SEOs try to get many inbound links for a website from the ones they own already.
