Domain age is an insignificant factor in SEO nowadays. Sure, indirectly domain age is important because in theory an older site can have more content on it. (it had more time to mature), but I thing that`s about it.
Here is a link that talks more about domain age importance:

No, it's absolutely not dead. The point that content strategy is currently more important, but if comparing 2 pages of same content quality, the one who's older will be in top.
There are few reasons of that:
There are few reasons of that:
- elder means more links on the site
- elder means more trustful
- elder means users like this site
It's hidden fact for branding. Think about wallmart or amazon. Now think is this possible to change their domain name? On the other hand it's a type of hidden secret of SEO. If you want start micro niche then it's not fact but in broad niche it will be. DA and PA is still have the digger in search engine.
He was asking just about the domain age. Sure, you can draw INDIRECT conclusions that IF a website is older it has more trust ,links and users, but JUST the age of the domain doesn`t have any direct effect on SEO.
One more thing: I have a blog where I post once each 3 months, but it has an age of 3 years and you have a blog where you post once a week, but your blog is only 1 year old.
Which blog do you think will be favored SEO wise?

“The difference between a domain that’s six months old verses one year old is really not that big at all.”.
In other words, they do use domain age…but it’s not very important.
I see...so the truth was somewhere in the middle. They use the domain age, but this factor is not so important.
I do think that the age of the domain matter a lot. It helps in ranking of the page. I remember I had the first domain registered and it took me a while for me to have the page well ranked on the google first page. With the age of the website especially when active, you will be able to get more content on board and this means that you will have a well optimized website. So to me Dr Evil, the age will always matter and it it the reason people have been keeping tha domains for long and sell them at a very higher costs.
I dont say domain age is not important for seo. But I would suggest not to worry about the domain age at all if you have quality and healthy content and some traffic. You should focus on the other factors of SEO if you want to rank on SEPR.

So the assumption would be right now domain age have very little or no impact on SEO but for branding sense implies differently. Trustees grow up by domain age as though business. On the other hand, we just talking on google but for another search engine like bing or Yahoo have you find anything noticeable about domain age?
