It's a theory propounded sometime in early 2004. Not everyone agrees that it exists and it can't really be confirmed.

Google has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of any such concept being used in its SEO techniques.

A sandbox in software terms is a restricted area wherein all activities carried out in the sandbox area REMAIN in that area and don't affect any part of the OS outside this "quarantine zone". In this case, all new websites that the Google search spiders crawl across are put in to this isolation zone. What happens here is that the newer sites are kept lower inthe search rankings for the first couple of weeks pending increased site hits and the ability of the site to remain online.

IMHO, this might have been done to discourage the many many AdSense defrauders who put up a few pages filled with keywords but no discernible content, to push up the pages and the sites that they're hosted on up the google search rankings.
