How does Google determine domain age? Do they look at the whois data or do they rely on the crawler? e.g. When it first indexed the website. In general, how important is it for website authority? Thanks!

I like how they answer customer inquiries. Nice question answered very brief but clear.

I find that hard to believe. I have been improving my website for three years now and other companies in my town who do nothing to their websites have occupied the same positions page one with no improvement on my placement.

@bigal21110 I agree - I think google just say this so we create more fresh content - very nice for them - still would you rather have/ buy a 1999 domain or a 2011 one -- ?

@bigal21110 I'm not sure you were listening. ;) He was answering the question on whois data versus first crawl or first link ... but yes, you have to read between the lines. Google is going to tell you what they want you to think.

@50kT welcome to the biz, tons of factors, but as matt said dont pay atention to the fkin PR but to important links and good inpage optimization, btw dont do what most people tells u to do, dont send ur site to 24525 directories dont set a lot a of link xchanges

@bigal21110 the question was about how valuable domain age by itself, not counting links.
-
@bigal21110 you are right the age of the domain matters a lot because its because as old your domain gets the links back traced by google will be much more then a website started in some months

We have been able to purchase a domain name and have it on the first SERP within 24 hours. This was for a non-competitive term, 400,000 results for the search phrase.
