Google Sandbox is otherwise known as “Sandboxing” or “Sandbox effect” or “Google penalty”. It is a method adopted to check the quality of a website before providing the page rank. This phenomenon was a hot topic that was much discussed about, as the new websites were not being ranked well by google. Usually the websites were kept “idle” without any page ranking for a period time. This time was not clearly known but it exists. This scenario is expected between three to six months time.

Google Sandbox effect was noticed by so many webmasters in websites that are properly optimized with proper keywords. It’s still happened in websites with back links that had been good in SERP results.
