How important is the domain name age?

[Dmoz]

As I knew then Google consider domain age as an important factor to search engine rankings and filtering spams. And it's true when I saw more website with domain names older rankings better than on SERPs. What do you think about importance of domain name age ?

Any thoughts ?

There is some value on aged domains, I would more likely look for a nice citation flow on domain than on age. Take Care

Expertise and testing by SEO professionals shows quite a clear picture an older site age competes for ranks a bit better.

Domain name earns trust among various consumers of our business if it's a bit older and also helps to get good ranking in SERP in very short span of time.

Domain name age is very important, it allows a website to rank much faster then a new domain

Domain age isn't as important as you may think. Unless the domain is years old and has thousands of good backlinks coming into it - Neither a new domain with 0 links or an old domain with 0 links will probably rank very high.

Agreed. As time progresses, we're seeing a lot more of the Google updates focus on content, social, 'freshness' and authoritative factors.

There's no doubt that domain age factors in, but it's a small fish when compared to the above.

Aged Domain has a little bit of advantage, you could get a higher ranking with Aged domain faster than the newly built domain.

Once in a matt cutts video he explained that domain age is not important actually most older domain names get natural backlinks with age and hence become an authority domain name over time.
