The Google Sandbox Effect

For a Blogger or Webmaster it is necessary to understand the sandbox effect. The main motive behind the sandbox was to eliminate spam by the Google. The Sandbox enables Google to verify that a domain is not spam before allowing users to find it. The sanbox effect is also one type of test for newer websites or blogs, as google wants the best websites or quality content oriented websites or established websites to be listed first to provide quality results to users.

One can avoid from getting their websites to sandbox effect by targeting less competitive keywords, so that google might have no point in applying filter for such websites. Website once placed under the scanner of google sandbox is kept away from higher ranking for the period of one to six months. It highly depends upon the keywords targeted.

How much time it would take get the site out of sandbox? It is believed that websites targeting highly competitive keywords takes full six month period to get out of it and websites targeting less competitive keywords come out of it quite sooner than it. If a website does not receives good SERP position for very less competitive or less important keywords then it is quite confirmed that the said website is in google sandbox effect.
