I did do some search on this topic. A new site is going to be putting in Sandbox by Google, also means that you are not going to rank well for a long time, until you gain trust of Google, or you can wait for 6 months to get out of sandbox.
But there gotta be a way out, I'm still trying to figure out.

Hello there. Just thought I should help you understand the sandbox effect...
Even Google denies the existence of the sandbox. We have come to the understanding that there is "something" similar to a sandbox IN Google when for instance backlinking to a site is beeing done, too fast that is... To prevent this you should link up tp the highest PAGERANK sites you find. Three per day in the beginning or so. Overdoing it will get you sandboxed. How I define the term? Antispam from -Google?

"The only way to go about it is to wait or buy a high pagerank domain which was an expiring one and link directly to it. I have not tried this but it is said to work."

Anyway when you have your site high in Google the one day and the other day page 16 then DO NOT PANIC. Googlebots will check your site you know. If you then choose to build backlinks like crazy then you will use a long time getting back to your ORIGINAL position. Take your time and do only minor changes. The sandbox was a warning

Give it two or three weeks and it will get back up. Maybe even sooner... Or worst case scenario later. Nevertheless it will get back up.

Thanks

Stop worrying about things that you can't control! It will only drive you crazy.

Sandbox or no sandbox, just keep doing the things that you know works (without trying to cheat the system) and you will eventually get the results you want.

That's it!

Sandbox only exist in Google, therefore I'm ranking high in yahoo, but low in Google is a clear mark that I'm sandboxed by Google

It's common to rank well for a while. Google tests your click rate and other unknown factors. Afterward, you're on your own and will have to earn your way to the top.

I have possibly experienced "reverse sandbox", one of my sites was at the top of google when it was initially indexed (albeit for a not particularly popular keyword) when it had no backlinks, and then fell in the rankings. I have got sites to page 1 in the first few months for keywords. The keywords I target initially are usually under 10000 hits/month so maybe that is why.

One of the possible reasons for getting sandbox by Google is probably getting too much same type of links(same sources) too quickly for a new site.

To get out of sandbox quickly, you just need to get links from authority sites like ezinearticles.com, press release sites and other high PR sites which can prove to Google that your new website is trusted by authority sites.

I'm not a believer in the "sadbox". It's purely just quality of links coming back, although Google do throw some anomalies out there. I think you should concentrate on some highly relevant back links using your target keyword and two variations of that keyword, so you're getting back links for three keywords to the same domain. This will work. What links are you getting right now?

THERE IS something where Google puts some sites to get fresh air. New sites especially. Perhaps is sandbox, perhaps it's just a corner on the street where sites have to prove they deserve to be seen.

Whatever.

Work the site focused on WHAT people want - he'll be seen and grab good rankings.

Because a true google penalty would be a de-index.
Rewarding other sites is NOT a penalty. Liking other sites more is NOT
a penalty. In order to actually get a penalty, YOU would have had to have
done something, NOT google.

If you think being ranked #25 after a month is a friggin penalty, then what
does that say about the poor sap who ranks #26? #50? #75? They must have got
the double-secret-sandbox!!!

I hope Fernando does not mind me picking this out because it's pretty good:

  I have to agree with Paul and Fernando on their previous comments....You site is still very new.
  
  Give it time and build more pages on your site and get some quality backlinks from authority sites to those pages and the other pages on your site.
  
  Build consistently with backlinks and page content.
  
  Here's something to remember:
  At first new sites will go through a delay process until google can find your site and determine where it needs to be. As you toss links to the new site Google will move your site up/down. Over time your site will level out and have a more solid grounding to be placed. From there your site will slowly start to move up (depending on what your competition is doing because as they move up....you either move up or down).

I've got a couple sites currently bouncing around as well. One of them will show up on the 1st page of Google for a day or two, then disappear for a couple days and come back even higher. In the past week, it's bounced from the first page to the 7th page to the 3rd page, then back to the first page.

It's frustrating if you haven't been through it before, but keep building quality links and putting good content on your site and it'll find its spot in the rankings as it ages a bit.

It sounds like you are basing your assumption that you are in the "sandbox" on the fact that you are ranking high in Yahoo and Bing but not in Google, however the algorithms used to rank sites are vastly different.

Just because you rank high in Yahoo does not mean you will rank high in Google, therefore I think your assumption may not be correct.

Whether there is a sandbox or not, no one can really say. But there definitely is what's called "google dance". This is where you'll bounce around the search results for awhile until Google can figure out where to place you. Settling down with only come as the site matures.

The most important thing is to try and build links consistantly, and to try to get matured domains if possible.

Hi Guys,

The "sandbox effect" is actually a filter where Google will stop you ranking as well until it decides what to do with your site. This is very similar to the Google dance , but will do it for your whole site. It does this mainly on new sites to stop spammers.

This could be down to a number of factors such as changing your sites seo or building links too quick.

Keep building links and your ranking will come back eventually.

I feel like I may have got put in the sandbox, or slapped in some way, below is my situation let me know what you think.

- The site is about 4 months old.
- I got it on the 1st page for my keyword after about 2 months.
- It maintained between the 5-8th position for the last 2 months.
- Last week, I started doing a lot of social bookmarking and a little article submission.
- This week my site went to #278 in rankings...

The only thing I can figure is; since I hadn't done much social bookmarking before, that I did too much all at once and it raised a red flag.

That is normal for a new site. Do a search for QDF - query deserves freshness. All new sites/content tend to get an artificial initial boost in the rankings when first found. They then settle to their natural rankings after a period of time. Your site now ranks where it ranks. The only way to move it up, is to get to work on the usual SEO stuff.

Hi VAIL,

Congratulations you are our "Weekly Mystified by QDF" contestant.

You've been selected to learn the secret of your ranking decline. To win, all you have to do is comprehend the following paragraph:

Relax, you have not suffered a penalty of any kind. Instead your ranking was temporarily boosted by QDF (Query Deserves Freshness), which is a temporary boost in rankings for new content. Once this temporary boost wears off, your page will sink to it's currently earned position in SERPs.

Now it's time to go out and promote your pages with solid promotional efforts and earn those higher rankings.

Thanks
