How important is Domain Age to SEO? - Site Owners Forums

gonaof · 02-27-2012, 07:36 AM

It's still an unknown for me.

I had a domain name 9 year old and worth nothing.

Any sharing in this regard?

An old domain is worth it, if and only if,

- It has a good number of relevant, authority backlinks
- It has a high PR
- It is a reputed domain (i.e. it enjoyed a good search ranking)

�Age� in itself, does not guarantee rankings.

Having old domain name never means to get rank well in Google.You need to perform quality SEO work with quality content on that domain.Old domain can help you to get rank fast but you will need to perform SEO work.

The most important thing by Googles updated algorithm is Content. Tour content should be unique, subject oriented. Other thing is backlinks. These two factors do lot for ranking

Age is factor in SEO but if will be considered only in the well optimized sites. Aged site with quality content and Well optmized(on and off) better than new optimized site

Yes I agree with you.

I'd say domain age is one of the factors that influence better SEO ranking.

shaunmark8 · 03-01-2012, 01:39 AM

it is very much important.

While domain age is a factor in SEO, it�s not a huge deciding factor. As others have mentioned, you also need some backlinks and it is a reputed domain. But as an older name it does have a bit of a head start compared to a fresh site.

Good SEO strategy can make your site ranking

No matter how old is the domain name. The thing is how many backlinks that a domain have. If a domain name having more no. of backlinks then it will be a help for us in getting high page rank easily.

When we start SEO for a fresh website, We have to index website in major search engines. Search engines take time to index websites. If your domain is really old , Search engines give preference to index fast.Domain age consideration is one of the point of SEO

Domain age is a very important part in case of SEO, because if you are doing SEO for very old domain, then this will increase the faith for other webmasters who will directly impact the SEO work.
