Domain age is certainly a factor.

Well, I should elaborate that after 2 months of their expert SEO I had a whopping 8 back-links which pissed me off. Domain age may be a factor, but personally I think its importance is exaggerated.

Build a quality site, with constantly evolving and quality content, add a truckload of back-links and I guarantee it wont lose out to an older domain on that premise.

Timmy, domain age is a FACTOR... for serious competitive keywords.

Age can actually being a factor regarding taking over a position... It is not your SEO guys saying that... is actually google mentioning it.

Just go out there and google "credit cards" , "buy a house" , "mortgages" "forex" "bank loans" ... how many less than 2 year domain names do you see in top 10?

Exactly... a TRUCKLOAD of backlinks....

and why older domain names rank faster... because they usually have OLDER links... than a new domain name...

Then wouldn't I be better off paying some indian to build back-links to my site and spend $1800 a month on SEM if I am never going to see the top spot? hehe

Off course, keep the indian guy keep the backlinks coming.... but also keep buying second hand domain names why pay someone to build backlinks if you can pay $20 for a domain name that has already truckloads of backlinks .... ? Check Freshdrop.com to get an idea...

Example:

Discount Vouchers

Keyword: Discount Vouchers

1st position (Google Australia)
Aug 17, 2000

3rd position
Dec 12, 2005

4rd positon
Sep 27, 2001

5th position
Apr 10, 2007

These are registration dates

But... off course, you can bit age with quality links off course, specially if Position 1 is there by osmosis... and not by any SEO

Sorry.. spellings mistake

You can beat the age of any domain name... with quality links for your target keyword, specially when position Number 1... is number 1 mainly because google didn't find any better option for position number 1.

Many times a site is 1st.. and they are not even aware they are 1st for THE KEYWORD you are trying to get your site to rank... make sense?
