Age of domain matters?

    Can anyone share insight about the age of the domain affecting SEO? How old does it need to be to have any effect? Is there any quantitative measure? Is a domain that's, say 8 months old, any better than a domain I buy today?

    I think the age matters but if you are good in providing the relevent and updated content to your users, then possibility that search engine will take its as the plus point over less age

    Is an 8 month old domain significantly better than one bought today?

    yeah!.. definitely!.. the 8 month old domain is better.. But it also depends on the hard work and quality of your contents!

    There's no quantitative measurement, but the longer age is a positive factor that will be taken into account by Google.

    Before the domain age was a super important part of the algorithm. But take into consideration linking vs age. a 5 months old site with PR 6 and 7 links will be better that a 3 year old site with low Quality links. Work on the content a beat out the granny websites :)

    Agreed. Domain age factor is still important until these days. However, the website must provide values and have had quality backlinks profile for a meantime, otherwise aged domain would be useless. ie. parked domain for 6 years will not have any trust from Google perspective.

    I think the length of domain ownership is more important than age. Although age is a factor, I don't think it is as much as it used to be. I started a blog just 2 weeks ago with brand new domain (registered for 3 years) and I am amazed at the keywords I am ranking for in such a competitive industry. (In Google).

    As for Yahoo and Bing, they'd each index a ham sandwich if they could.
