Definition - Domain Age

Domain age is just what it sounds like — the age of your website domain. Your domain is where your website resides, and it's also referred to as your URL or website address. My domain is armingyourfarming.com.

Domain age plays a role in search engine optimization, because some search engines tend to favor older websites (if all other things are equal). This is especially true of Google, because the #1 search engine loves older websites with a lot of inbound links.

Of course, when I say "old" I'm talking Internet years. By my definition an "older" website is five years old or more.

But while Google seems to place a lot of weight on domain age, MSN (now called Live Search), doesn't seem to care about the age of a website. In fact, if you have a lot of content on your website, proper onsite optimization, and a decent amount of inbound links, you can rank well in MSN regardless of domain age.
