Website domain age is a factor for good SEO benefits. If you want to get free traffic from google, then you have to pay close attention to this factor. We all know SEO gives traffic and that allows us to earn money online. How about getting 100+ new visitors everyday from google who are interested in your content and wants to read more? That sounds too cool so you have to buy your own domain and keep it for longer.
Most people don’t like to spend money on domain or at least if they buy a domain for blog, they don’t keep it for more than 1 year. Domains are as low as $10/year and you should invest on it.. even if you don’t feel creative about continuing your site; put your site on a free host or use a blogspot blog.
Another interesting aspect that google is looking forward is how long these domains are going to stay. I mean search engines are checking when this domain will expire. It a wise policy because domains are cheap and people are buying hundreds of them to make their main site rank higher in search engine positions. For good SEO benefits you should make your domain older + make sure you have registered more years to it.. See BlogKori’s domain stats,
Not just the domain is 1 year old, I added 1 more year till it expires, so now it’ll expire after 1 year and 8 months, real good SEO optimization. Now google will know that this is not a temporary site and will be online for a longer. What do you think?

HMM that’s bad news for me; I have no idea before that’s why I buy my domain for 1 year. :-(
It’s okay, everyone starts with 1 year, and then you can renew the domain till it expires.
i had resgistered my domain only for one year.
shall i upgrade them to more years.what do u say.
If you are serious about your blog (of course you are!) then add 1+ years every time and don’t let it have only 2-3 months left.
I’ve just registered my new domain. It does affect Goolge PR, my new site is simply PR 0. :(
It’s advisable you register your domain soon!
Yes man, it’s better to have a domain ASAP and even better if you can keep it for longer.
OK, this issue is new to me. I’m aware of historical age being an SEO factor, but you have illuminated the other side of the domain age issue that I wasn’t aware of before. This factor will be especially relevant for domains in the fiorst year or two of their existence.
The domain age aspect from this point does makes sense because now days getting a domain and starting a site is way easier than before and google had to make sure that they are not spam sites.
Give me some address for getting a domain and starting a site which are spam free
I just recently started flipping websites, and I can vouch that it does hold a lot of potential. Wanted to take the time out and thank you for such wonderful information. Domain Flipping Rocks!! :-)
