    Domain age plays a very minor role in SEO rankings. Google does count the first crawl date and first link discovery but as long as you are live for a couple of months, it will not play a very important role in determining where you rank. There is a video released by Google where Matt Cutts explains the value of domain age:

    Domain age does have some relevance. I cant explain it while the first link crawled is important but there are some other factors at play.

    Domain age is pretty important, especially if your targeting competitive keywords. Most websites on page 1 for competitive casino keywords are at least 1 or 2 years old (if not much older).

    Yes, the reason old domains are on page one is not that age is a huge factors, more so that they had years to create content and links to reach the top. In other words, that is confounding factor, but not so much of a direct factor.

    This can't be true. My site is less than a year old and I am ranking for some decent keywords and outranking sites that have been around for 5-11 years.

    The domain you use for a your web site can have a huge impact in the way that humans and search engine spiders perceive it. Domain names were once so expensive that only those wanting to protect a brand or who could afford them owned them, now they are commonplace and if you know where to look, you could pick up a domain name for free.

    I see you are trying to get your post quota up so that you can post a signature?

    This was never true, in the beginning when the domain industry was mostly controlled by Network Solutions, they charged $35 per name per year so the pricing was never really much of a factor.

    the age of the content is probably more important than domain age itself

    I would like to give you a real example of mine. One of my gambling sites https://SuperbahisCanli.com has got the peak traffic figures after 1 month of it's launch. The reason for this success is firstly the relevancy of the domain address with the targeted kw(s). Secondly the simplicity of the design for Google to easily crawl. So i agree with the generall decision. Age has no or minor effect on the serps.

    Domain age plays an important role in Google rankings. Through SEO, every domain increases their Traffic. Domain age is the age of website. If your domain is too old, your site gets top rankings and also increases traffic in Google. Domain age is calculated by domain creation and expiration date in

    yes ofcourse domain age is more important in google ranking.Older the domain is,higher is the ranking.always the older site that is well optomized would be ranked higher than a newer site.domain age can be determined from any registrar by analyzing between the date of creation and expiry of the domain.

    The example he gave is between a domain that's 6 months old and 1 year old. He never said anything about a domains that are 12 years old. Despite what Matt says, I very much doubt the insignificance of domain age. First it's still a ranking factor no matter how minor it is. Second don't believe everything you read and hear.

    I though that hosting country was a minor ranking factor, until I actually switched from US to UK host and it was the biggest ranking change I had ever seen.

    I gotta say that this much looks like an elite school competition. The contenders are very similar in achievements and results, but the top ones have something very little as a plus. So I am pretty sure if 3-4 sites are fighting over a massive keyword and they all did their job on content, links, quality, whatever, the domain age might be just this tiny bit to push one of them higher.

    And I see a lot of you guys report high placements after a month or two, but there was a whole article that Google gives new sites an extra push for around 6 weeks. If anyone needs it I can dig it out.

    So bottom line, it depends how you define "important" and how you value every single ranking factor. For me, every little bit helps, therefore it IS an important factor, despite Matt's video.
