what is sand box?

i would like to know about sand box, How it is useful for user :rolleyes:

The sand box refers to the quality-measuring filters in Google’s ranking algorithm that prevent a website or web page from ranking highly until it has reached a certain threshold. No one is sure if the sand box actually exists.

So that is what a sandbox is... though its has something to do with blogging services. ^_^

As I know, sandbox is a security mechanism for separating running programs.
I believe it is often used to execute untested code, or untrusted programs from unverified third-parties, suppliers and untrusted users.

The un-secure or spamming websites are moved to Sandbox.
These websites are not banned.
But with the passage of time & improvement in the quality of website content.The website gets out that Sandbox.

I think it's pretty obvious that the OP is probably some kind of bot posting adverts ;-)

I thing Sand box is probationary period for new web site from SEs...it will be until 3-6 months .in this time SE will watch carefully and get some good position in SERP.. after this period have to work hardly to maintain and improve the position

to make it short, it's a place where you don't what your website to be... ^_^

The sandbox typically provides a tightly-controlled set of resources for guest programs to run in, such as scratch space on disk and memory. Network access, the ability to inspect the host system or read from input devices are usually disallowed or heavily restricted. In this sense, sandboxes are a specific example of virtualization.

Sandboxes are a relatively new type of security product that can significantly reduce your chance of getting infected when you surf or when you download and install programs.

The Google Sandbox is considered a probationary period given to a new website. Even though your website may have a high Pagerank, lots of backlinks, and quality content it will not rank high in the SERPs. This filter is said to be placed on new websites.

Google introduced sandbox for those people who doing spamming.

I think sandbox is best way to measure the quality of sites so that no one can use illegal ways to reach high on algo
