“The Google Sandbox” does that make sense to you? There is a theory in the search engine optimization world about this term and what it represents. The sandbox theory describes an assumed filter Google has been using since about 2004, this filter tracks brand new websites and after a few weeks of existence (some with great SERP results), these sites seem to be placed in a sort of prison for anywhere from a few months up to a year, in rare cases even more. However, not everyone agrees this even exists, and believe these results are just results of a sophisticated algorithm. Nonetheless, there are some ways you work your way out of this filter. Here a just a few methods worth trying.
