What is Google Sandbox effect ?

Google Sandbox Effect: How to get out:

1. Google Sandbox is a technique that is applied to the websites with newly-registered domains.
2. The websites with newly-registered domains are placed in a Google Sandbox (holding area) in the indexes of Google until such time is deemed appropriate before a ranking can commence.
3. Webmasters have noticed that sites with newly-registered domains will be added to the Google index and may show up for obscure searches such as the company/web site name but will not be shown for other phrases that are relevant to the site.
4. It appears this effect does not affect new pages unless the domain is in the sandbox.

• Those who believe the sandbox exists observe that it can sometimes take up to a year or longer for a website to be promoted from the Google "sandbox", while those who do not believe in a "sandbox" explain this duration as simply the time it takes for Google to calculate PageRank using an "eigenpairs interpretation of nodes".

• Since Google is the dominant search engine on the Internet, this "sandbox effect" has distressed webmasters who see their websites included in Yahoo! and MSN in a short period of time, but not in Google despite following Google's own guidelines.
