SEO Tips Day 10 – Domain Age and SEO – How important is it ?

Is domain age and seo related ? Yes, is what I’d love to believe, however there’s nothing to get too excited about it.

When calculating the SEO value of a website (particularly when comparing with competition) SEOs generally count the age of a domain. The more the age, the better.

Similarly, some SEOs also believe that the “future age” or the time to which a domain has been registered also makes sense, if not to a significant level as any other SEO metric. It might just say to Google, that we’re going to be around for a longer time, and are pretty serious about what we do, and that we have no plans of getting sold out the next year.

So while registering domains, if you are serious about what you’re doing, register for a longer time, forget Google, you might even get some good discounts But SEO-wise, yes domain age matters, even though less significantly.
