Domain Age factor in calculating SERP

People always say Google love old sites. The older the better.

I have some sites only a few months old. I did a search on my targeted keywords and found the youngest site which appear in Google's 1st search page is (2 yr. old and PR 4). In one of the threads in this forum, someone mentioned if you can get a few PR 4 or 5 BLs, you can make your site to PR 3, etc.

If I can get some PR 5 or 6 authority sites, does it mean my site has a large chance to appear in 1st page?

Is there any other things I can do to outweight this factor?

 

I've heard that Google often puts new pages toward the top of the SERPs temporarily. I don't think it matters about age of the site, but instead age of the page.

This is probably to give the new, fresh pages some exposure. Otherwise, they may never be found and they could have the latest information.

 

I think Google works in two ways. As stated by usasportstraining, Google often puts new pages toward the top of the SERPs temporarily

The second way is the age of the site and age of the backlinks.

The age of the site is related to allow factors in addition to the domain age. For instance the age of the theme, ownership and content

 

It has been my experience for a new site to appear very good initially, and then the sandbox takes effect. Sites stay in the sandbox for various times depending on the quality of the site, SEO, links and other factors.

 

A new site will say on the top of the serps if they get good quality links fast. The more natural the better.

 

Your statement is inaccurate and could not possibly work in a search engine!!

Just have a think about it!

 

By giving some new sites temporary rank, the sites are given an opportunity to prove themselves.

 

my site is fairly new (5 months) and it is ranking well and has been for about 3 months now.

 

Domain Age may be a factor but finally the content and the back links that matter for GOOGLE.

 

Its not domain age thats a factor.

Its the back links age that matters.

my 2 cent worth.

 

there is much bigger chance to rank high if you have an old domain.

 

From what I understand, domain age is a factor for search engine rankings.

 

Older the domain = more trusted = better SERPS

however new content is listed highly aswell but can diminish

 

Domain age is the factor along with this quality contents and relevant quality back links boost up your site...

 

the domain age is a factor but I'm pretty sure the site age (how long it's been cached on the internet) is even more important. I have a few 7-8 year old domains that have never been anything but parked, and I don't even know if they have any credibility at all because of it.

 

Correct. If the aged domain wasn't even cached in Google, you are pretty much starting from scratch.

 

I have a domain that I used years ago, never did any linkbuilding, etc.
I have a 10 month old domain that I've backlinked like mad, thousands of them.

My old URL is PR3 and the new one is PR2.
Also, the old domain performs will in serps!

 

just a question about that - I checked my oldest domain from 1999, on archive.org. It actually is listed from back then, but as a Godaddy parked page. I wonder if that counts?

 

domain age matters for Google and also the age of the backlinks...the domain matters more than slightly,despite of ppl say

 

serp has so many criterias . some of the web sites says that serp is over 200 criterias. site age is one of the criterias. not serp = site age
