    This is the date that a page was first available for index in search engine.The age of domain has significant impact on a search engine.Older domain name are most considered to be more credible then a new domain name that has been recently registered.

    Yes Google provides preference to old domains. By creating a website on an old domain, you can easily get search engine rankings on your targeted keywords.

    That is a hard call. Some say domain age is the factor, others say that it is the age of the inbound links that matters. Maybe it is a bit of both.

    If your site is old, but not very good, it won't make much difference. Does give an advantage though over a similar new site.

    Yes,Google gives more priority to old domains.Old domains are also helpful to get trust of visitors.But this is not a major issue.New domains can also get good rank on SEs but it takes some time.
    Thanks

    The domain age is one factor but did not give it more importance. content and online promotion techniques can make difference. new idea such as facebook,twitter and Youtube you can make your business in the top for just one year.

    Domain is a big factor in SEO. Google gives priority if your domain is older than other.

    It's also a good idea to prepay in advance for several extra years on your domain name. Get-rich-quick sites usually just reserve a domain for one year. By prepaying for several years, you show the search engines you are a serious website.

    P.S. I'm not sure how the SEs know you're paid well in advance, but many articles have been written saying that this is a fact.

    Don't worry too much about old domains, we could bit them especially if they don't have good content, they have high bounce rate, our site's on page and off page seo is better than those old domain. What is important is on page seo [keyword in URL, Title and description, also unique content and preferably your site has a low bounce rate] and off page seo [backlinks are relevant to your keyword].... With these, I could guarantee you every time you make a site it will always be ranked on the first page of google for your keyword, but it also depends on the competing sites if they also have these.

    I guess an old domain and fresh content can work great together.
