There are many conceptions and misconceptions about the Google sandbox.
Many people say it exists, but many say it doesn’t.
So two opinions about Google sandbox.
and they have also experienced it on their new blog.
So What’s my take?
My take is the mix.
But it will bring more clarity about the sandbox.
Actually, people who believe Sandbox is there, feel there is a sandbox period where the new site will not rank in Google. After that period site gets started ranking.
I have worked on many blogs and many niche sites.
and here is my take.
- You can’t consider Sandbox for the new site only. Like if I will make a new site, it will be under Sandbox. (This is not true)
Because
There is one more thing added apart from the New site, which is the type of keyword. - So if you will start a new site in the low competitive niche, where fewer sites and less information are available on Google, their sandbox will not come into effect. You will start ranking in the first two weeks.
- If the niche is competitive, already there is more information available on Google.
Then google evaluate your site, and evaluate your credibility. (E-A-T comes in the picture). Then after 2-3 months, you see some spike in SERP.
Attaching two Images of Ahref Stats. (Both are my site.) - Just 1 month old. But less competitive niche.
- Almost Six months old, but there is competition.
Conclusion: Everything depends upon keywords.
