However there are a few techniques with which you can reduce the waiting time in sand box effect a few of which are mentioned below:

• Buy expired or old domains: The sand box effect is more prone towards new sites. So, buying an already established domain is a good idea to experience less hazards of the said effect.

• Keep updating your website: A website which is frequently updated gives a signal to the search engine that it is being actively managed and is not just another clone site.
• Establish inbound links from authority website: Having links with authority sites can justify your point of view of being a good neighbor. Your belonging with those who are already established in the market can boost your status.
