Hi to everyone !
I wanna know full info about Google Sandbox ?
the suggestion are welcome !

The effect that became called the "sandbox" was happening in 2005 and the effect went away well over a year ago.


Try and keep up with the rest of the world please.

The Google Sandbox Effect is a theory used to explain why newly-registered domains or domains with frequent ownership changes rank poorly in Google Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). In other words new websites are put into a “sandbox” or a holding area and have their search ratings on hold until they can prove worthy of ranking.

Lol at this thread. But I do want to take it in another direction and ask what Google was thinking when this "Sandbox" idea came into place. Any logic behind this?

The effect was actually accidental and I have been looking for the article I recall where a Google engineer, whom I believe wasn't Matt Cutts, explained this at the time.

Scottie Claiborne's article, naming it as an "aging delay" was far nearer to explaining actual effect than ALL the "sandbox" theories.
But of course "Sandbox" sounds much "kewler" than "aging delay" does.

READ and UNDERSTAND this

Q: Does the sandbox exist? A: Matt said here comes the audience part? How many feel there is a sandbox? How many feel there is no such thing as a sandbox? SEOs normally split down the line. There are some things in the algorithm that may be perceived as a sandbox that doesn't apply to all industries. He knows it works to keep some spam out.

Note the use of the word perceived!!!

Sometimes, the site will not even come up under a search for your business name. Google hasn’t put forth an official reason for implementing the Sandbox. We and others believe Google is trying to discourage people from slapping up tons of small sites that can be used to generate links to each other. Instead, the delay process promotes the creation of sites with massive amounts of content.

Well I suppose the one good thing about that garbage is; ...



... You have managed to get to 2005 rather than staying back there in 1999!!

Thanks for the posts Chris. I'm outdated in Sandbox issues.

The only "sandbox" at Google is where Matt Cutts's cat goes to micturate and defecate
