Does every site go through the google sandbox?

Hey everyone, my website was recently knocked out of the top 50 spots after being on the first and second page for almost half of my keywords. I thought I was "slapped" but luckily my website is still indexed in Google. I did some research and found out that my website is going through the google sandbox which sometimes takes MONTHS to get out of. So my question is: Does every site go through the google sandbox? And do you have any advice besides building links that can help me get out as soon as possible?

Thanks everyone,

Hi Leos,
My advice is keep building links and more articles on your site.
From what I have read sandboxing is a bit of a myth but others say it is definitely happening.
They say a site is usually sandboxed for 90 to 120 days...
but it does not happen to all sites.
Keep building a good quality site or 2 or 3 or 4 or... lol, and you will soon see it change.
Just my 2 cents.
Regards
Troy

they were the big things.
