If you know anything about search engine optimization then you have probably gotten word of the Google sandbox. The sandbox is a thing that nobody knows for sure if it exists. It is a filter that people believe will prevent your new site from achieving the ranking it deserves because it is new to the Google index.
So is it really there? I can't really say for sure. It would be a good idea, but it would prevent sites that are brand new and good from ranking for a period of time. There really is only one thing that would tell you if it exists and that is if you were so good at SEO that you could develop and optmized page both on and off site that should be number 1 and register the domain all on the same day. I don't know anybody that good.
I have a site that I built that was on the first page of Google for a competitive keyword in less than 30 days. I will admit that after the first 14 days of domain registration it was indexed below position one hundred and then jumped to number 40. But couldnt that have been a result of my increased optimization efforts.
In conclusion, I think the sandbox is not there. If it does exist it doesn't take a site long to get out of it if you know how to optimize offsite correctly. I don't think there is anybody out there that can expect going into it that they should be on page 1 in less than 30 days. Most places say 3-6 months.
What people refer to as the sandbox for me, is natural progression. I think that you have to pass sites to get ranked, and it takes some time to pass a site that has been on Google for a while. - 15478
