What is Google’s Sandbox?
There is no actual sandbox – there is no fixed time where Google does not rank your content. But … there are a number of ranking signals that prevent new sites from ranking. This is why some sites with lots of early content, social signals and traffic, good user interaction and high authority backlinks might start ranking well in as little as four months. These quick ranking sites have a staff to make all of these things happen. A more typical affiliate or ad-based content site take more time to get content created and get backlinks. They will therefor need more time to get past the new site ranking signals.
