📖 Why Domain Age Matters
Domain age is one of many factors that search engines consider when ranking websites. Older domains are often seen as more trustworthy and established, though quality content and backlinks remain more important.
Domain Age Factors
- Trust Signal - Older domains have had time to build reputation
- Stability - Long-registered domains show commitment
- History - The domain's past usage affects its current value
- Not a Guarantee - Age alone doesn't ensure good rankings
💡 Pro Tip: When buying an existing domain, check its history using the Wayback Machine. A domain's past content and any penalties can affect your site.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Domain age is calculated from the original registration date found in WHOIS records. This is when the domain was first registered, not when it was last renewed or transferred.
Not necessarily. While domain age can be a trust signal, Google has stated it's a minor factor. Quality content, backlinks, user experience, and technical SEO are far more important for rankings.
After expiration, domains enter a grace period (usually 30-45 days) where the owner can renew. Then a redemption period follows. Finally, the domain becomes available for anyone to register, losing its age benefit.
