SEO Tip: Domain Age is Important.

September 9, 2016 by Sybre Waaijer
Updated October 2, 2018

This tip has been brought with version 2.3.3 of The SEO Framework.

Is your domain name just registered? Give it some time. It can take from three to six months before Google thinks you deserve a better spot on the search results page. Google doesn’t really like new domains because new domains often contain spam. While waiting for a higher spot, be creative! Get awesome content out there for when your domain does get some authority :).

Bing and Yahoo, however, don’t (really) look at domain age, but rather at domain name. So it’s much easier to rank higher early on those search engines. DuckDuckGo is still a mystery but it seems that they look at Geo location, backlinks and titles.
