Thread: what is google sandbox?

hi..i have read many times that my website is sandboxed?? what is it exactly?

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.

Google Sandbox referred to sites that were "restricted" in some ways in performance, limiting their ability to do well i nteh SERPs for certain/all search terms etc. It is now a commonly miss-used term, as the Sandbox effect that is referred to kind of disappeared sometime ago.
