I just read a topic thread about domain age having to be six months old. Why is this? I am new to internet marketing and have a site that is only 3 months old. Why do people recommend a site to be 6 months old? Is that because you can mass link build versus gradual? Or does a 6 month old domain rank significantly higher than a new domain easier?
I don't know anything specific about this but my guesses are: 1. Google trusts old websites more. 2. After 6 months sites will be out of the "Sandbox". But that is only what I have heard. You should have no problem ranking for smaller keywords in way less than 6 months.
An aged domain will have more relevancy with google, anyone can just buy a domain and upload content and then sell on. Google likes to see fresh content added to an aged domain this would give a much more solid footing with google.
Who told you? It is not to be that exact 6 months old anyway. However, most of seo progress results will be seen after 6 months (or more) so the advice you got may be based on this case. However, you can launch any campaign regardless to how old of your website anyway. It is not different.
