Definition: Google Sandbox

« Back to Glossary Index

Google Sandbox is a hypothetical space or filter that some people believe exists within the Google search algorithm. According to this theory, new websites or web pages are placed in a “sandbox” for a certain period of time, during which their search engine rankings are artificially suppressed. This is thought to be a way for Google to assess the quality and credibility of a new website before allowing it to rank well in search results. However, the exact nature and existence of the Google Sandbox is still a topic of debate among SEO experts and is not officially confirmed by Google.
