The SEO definition is a bit different, but it still refers to the concept of keeping things separate. In this case, a web site is in the "sandbox" - a waiting area before it is trusted and allowed to mingle with the rest of the sites in the index (whether such a place exists or not is a bit beside the point here).
Hi Wige,

You've summarized this perfectly and you're absolutely right in my opinion.

Your distinction of the SEO definition is precisely what I was speaking to. My point was that SEOs should use caution from this point forward using the term sandboxing, since as GP200 pointed out:

Thanks for putting it so succinctly.
