Recently one of my blog stopped getting traffic from any search engines. I guess it is sandboxed.

What the experienced SEOs called the sandbox affected new sites. A site that was performing, and then stops performing, isn’t sandboxed. The sandbox was new sites, ones that had never performed from launch.
So, according to you (Ammon) websites are sandboxed right from the day of launch because they are new, right? Then, if thats the fact, all the new websites must be sandboxed!! How about those people who denies their websites faced any problems for ranking, ever since the site was launched? (Seems you haven’t referred the link I have provided. Go back to the post or click here and read reply of ’ska_demon’) Even cops do not interrogate any person unless any suspeciaous activity found, similarly google or any SEs don’t throw websites into sandbox unless they suspect any malecious trick has been applied. Only way to assume that black-hat SEO tricks are applied is very good traffic in short period of time. Concept of sandbox was coined only by series of observations (and it will be, unless Google, yahoo or any SEs confirm it officially). whatever I confirmed in post was based on observation. You seems to be so confident as if you are the programmer of all the search engines algorithm.
You may not like hearing what Ammon is telling you Milan, but he is trying to help you. You have confirmed that your traffic has dropped Milan but that is not what is commonly known as the sandbox. Something happened to your traffic I’m sure and you just have the wrong terminology BUT if you continue thinking it is the sandbox and look no further, you will not find the "real" reason it dropped.
Nonsense where the writer has neither researched nor understood the terms he’s using. Pure tripe.
