Why most websites get sandboxed? Duplicating index pages is the main reason?

There is NO SUCH THING as the "sandbox"

Because playing in the sand is fun, especially if it means you can build sand castles. You just have to be careful you don't start building them in the sky.

Hey chrishirst! what do you mean there is NO SUCH THING as the "sandbox"? You mean does not exist?

i think google, said that before that they are not implementing Sandbox just like what many people want to think.

The phenomena known as "the sandbox" is actually a delay period while the factors that determine the pages rank position are analysed.

Even this delay period has practically disappeared in the last few updates, especially with "Caffeine" where the page indexing speed has been greatly increased.

Oh I see chris, can you give us more reading resources related on this issue?

This is for developer purpose,for example pay pal has sand box account and developer is checking a payment method he cant do it with live account where there may be loss of money but sand box account is virtual does not take any transfer but it looks like transfer this is used for testing for a module or payment method

When any site use blackhat seo then google put that to sandbox

Google sandbox is only a term which is used until your website starts appearing in google results aand being crawled by google. Google has not named this thing as sandbox. Its the people who named it sandbox. And as said, Caffine has greatly increased the google indexing, so sandbox thing does not exists any more ( its my personal view only)

I don't actually believe that Google is sending new sites to a "sandbox" but rather they may be applying some sort of aging filter.

There is no such thing as sandbox. It's just an SEO myth.

Although it is fun to think that the sandbox really exist, a little fear for those SEO who use black hat technique is nice..

That's from 2005! Practically last millennium and certainly many algorithm updates ago. I see you posting "sandbox is a myth" all over the place. Do you have some secret tests you have conducted that you are not forthcoming about?

Google Sandbox is a filter created by Google in order to to stop new spam sites that purchases numerous inbound links so that their website can rank higher for their keywords from the date of launch. As per my knowledge, not all SEO experts agree that a Google Sandbox exists as a separate filter from other alleged Google filters.
