Sandbox effect will be applicable only for a period of about one to six month. Other popular search engines like Yahoo and MSN does not have the problem of sandbox effect. Here actually a virtual place is present where these new websites will be placed before considering them for the ranking in Google. Even if the content of the website is excellent and it has good quality back-links also they many not be presented in the search engine result page. It is like a filter which will check the details of the newly coming website before actually ranking it.

You can submit your website to other search engines and check whether your site has the same result over there also. If not you it is sure that your site is sandbox by Google. There is nothing to worry if your site is in sandbox, you can get visitors from other search engines.

Once you get a doubt that your site is in sandbox you try changing the keywords of it, try it with less competitive keywords. And then again your site is not improving in the search engine ranking then you can be sure that your site is in sandbox, so try with other search engines. The business owners will not like the sandbox and feels that it is unnecessary. But Google maintains it to control the works of spammers. They will filter the newly created websites before accepting them to the search engine ranking, just to prevent the unnecessary sites created by the black hat SEO.
