Domain age factor in Search Engine Optimization




The age of a domain affect search ranking is known to all who are actively a part of SEO services. Because of this reason, many websites have preferred to buy the old domain name in order to benefit from aging. This is not a bad idea at all, especially if bought the domain is relevant for sites theme and the new area being built contain quality content. One of the many factors in Google's search engine algorithm is the age of a domain name. On a small scale, the age of a domain gives the appearance of longevity and therefore a higher relevancy score in Google. Powered by spam websites that appear and die fast is the age of the domain, usually a sign on a website yesterday's news or tomorrow's popular site. We see this in business, for example. While the novelty may go with a new store in town gives a brief initial burst activity, people tend to trust a company that has been around for a long time on one that is completely new. The same goes for websites.

But spammers are always there to exploit any opportunity they could find. Then also use this technology and use the old domain is nothing more than a link farm. Spammers tend to make use of link farms in order, although age domains are lots of good links more weight to get a higher ranking. Apparently, search engines hate these tactics and have tried and still trying to find ways to combat these link farms, both old and new.

Microsoft has tried to combat this problem by looking not only at the age of the domain, and the number of sites linking to it, but also an age of the domain of those sites. This means that although the link farms can get lots of incoming links those links would not't keep as much weight as links from older, more reputable sites, since most of the sites, joining link farms are new. MSN Live Search factors in not just the domain age of your own side, but the domain age of the pages linking to you also. This means that even assemble a large quantity of links is no longer enough, if the search engines find these compounds are of low quality links. Two things that have been treated in an age of a domain are: age of the site and how long a domain has been registered.

On the other hand it means for ordinary websites, what is that it will make it a bit harder to do link building because we need to get more links from older sites. Add to the relevance of the site, and all these factors, what it simply means that organic link building makes more sense since search engines can find better ways to determine which sites are really offering something of value and not.
