          Google Sandbox is a debated topic from 2004 and 2005 that has never been confirmed. You shouldn't concern yourself with it too much. Also, the concept of Sandbox would only temporarily penalize new domains for the first few months. If you are worried about being penalized either temporarily or permanantely, there are a couple things you can always do:

          1. Create great content
          2. Used aged domains

          If you concern yourself with making the best site possible and don't worry about making a quick buck, you shouldn't have a problem.

            What is Sandbox? In order to avoid something like Sandbox, one should know very well what Sandbox is. But, nobody knows if Sandbox does exist, so let's just focus on the main problem here: How do I get my pages indexed? I have tried over years a lot of techniques, but I found only one that seems to work. If your site is not dynamic, make it so. Create the sitemap and the feed (I recommend RSS 2.0). Put your sitemap in your robots.txt. (last line, like this: Sitemap: http://www.yourdomainname.com/sitemap.xml). Submit sitemap to Sitemaps section in your Webmaster Tools' account. Submit your RSS feed to main RSS directories (just google the words, and you'll find plenty of them). Start with FeedBurner, to please Google. Wait a week or so and you'll see that your pages will start appearing in index. Good luck!
