How important is the domain age?

I've heard that G considers the domain age as an important SEO factor, as that works filtering some spammy domains. How important do you think this is?

Age of a domain is very important because of the backlinks and traffic accumulated by a site that may increase the chance of getting on top of SERPs.

Not exactly the amount of back links and traffic, rather it wants to see how trust worthy a domain is. Even if your site is fairly new and has got some highly trustworthy inbounds it is sure to get decent rankings.

Take care

Let's say that we're talking about keywords where everybody has high authority and have a good bunch of good quality BL. I was wondering, in that situation, how important can the domain age be.

For example, keyword "broadband" in google.co.uk (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...e+Search&meta=) the first result has less BL than the next ones, but is registered in 1996, so I's wondering if that can be an important factor. Obviously, in order to rank in the Top10 for such a keyword with 83 million results, all sites have good optimisation.

The age of domain and the age of backlinks are very important.

As Manish said,the age of domain is a new technique of G to calculate the trusty.As you register a domain for long period,google will trust your website as you are going to do some serious thing in your domain and will rank high.

The age is not the be all end all... but it dont hurt. If you build backlinks on a constant basis you can rank higher than domains that are many years old that don't promote their site. I was slack with my gifts site for the first year. Not because I was lazy about it, but just because I didn't know any better. 99% of my backlinks were built within the last few months and it did wonders for the site. I would only give age a 10% importance...

I have noticed that the older domains are easier to rank with.

Takes a lot less effort in the SEO part.

I completely agree. I've seen that the domain age overtakes other SEO factors when I analyse the sites that rank for very competitive keywords.

The age of the domain helps to market your site to your customers. It shows that you have been around for a while. Also, it can help when you want to sell your domain.

Well there are a lot of factors upon which a website rank well on the search engines. You can't leave any of them. You got to look on each and every aspect of it.

Domain age is important only if they have been there for quite some time and has got good quality IBLs. Otherwise it's not that useful compared to a fairly new domain. The market I was fighting had a site #1 which is 7 years old and I am #2 after their domain and my domain is what 11 months old! Well that's the power of SEO and winning the Trust of google.

Well for John. New domains are cool. He could take any market within a year or two. And i'm on his boots too. And slowly you become an authority then comes John's "not what but where" thingie..

Take care

Manish

-the domain age is one factor but did not give it more importance.
- content and online promotion techniques can make difference.
- new idea such as Youtube you can make your business in the top for just one year.

Domain age is very highly important, for example I got a client his website is ranked for very very competitive keywords, but guess what he only has 4,000 backlinks, and he is the largest reseller for hallmark ornaments, but why doe she rank so high, hes a lugit buisness that has trust with google, and has been on the web for awhile, a trust domain, or older domain is always going to rank higher.

For example, have you ever notice a website ranking very well, but the content was really nothing like you expect, but ranked for a competitive keyword, I mean browse around the web, and you'll find out that older domains sometimes have hardly no backlinks, but are ranking very well.

Expect a bump in traffic from the second year onwards.

It truly does make a difference. And it seems to be getting more important as time goes by.

I look for old domains these days. They do rank easier and quicker that is for sure.

New domains, especially in competitive markets takes a LONG time to rank.

I agree. Not saying that it is a rule, but I've noticed that older domains respond better when you start building links

my keyword

Rankings for my most competitve keyword went better without any serious SEO. That proves the domain and content age are very important and are much more important than number of backlinks.

In my personal experience, all "old" domains that I have ranked quite easily than my "new" domains. So, I guess it does matter.

I do not think that domain age is that important. Have a look at YouTube. Started 2 years ago but they were on top in SEs after few months on-line.

Well, I guess youtube is an exception. If anyone can make a "unique" website that interest many people (as well as Google! -$1.6B-), there's no question your site will rank high on SE
