Actually there is no Google sandbox and even Google confirmed that it's just a myth. What most people think or mistake it for is usually a penalty slapped by Google when you are doing some bad SEO.

Gee, it is so nice to hear from you that sandbox is an invented term and that is a myth according to Google. To be honest I am annoyed by the new terms that I encounter like sandbox and that black hat and others because it is obvious that those terms were just coined by a creative user. Instead of helping people learn SEO methods those terms add to the confusion and I’d say that I get a headache with those terms.

To be honest, this is just the second time that I have encountered this term Sandbox in Google. I ignored the first time but now I guess I have to understand this. And I’m glad that it may just be a myth that you get to be sandboxed when your site is over optimized. Maybe that over optimized may mean too much use of keywords which they call keyword stuffing. I am sometimes confused whenever I would come across new terms that are invented for SEO work.
