Aged domains

Notspot · #1 06-07-2007, 05:44 AM

I've got quite a few domain names waiting in the wings to be developed (I'm going to keep maybe 5 or so and sell the rest).

In trying to make my mind up which ones to use I've got a bit confused, some of the names have records going back as far as 2003 (online-poker-game.org for example), but when I do a whois.sc search it shows as registered in 2007. Whilst other have aged records and show in the whois as created in 2003.

In terms of being an aged domain is it the fact that there is a history there that counts, or the creation date on whois?

Also, how old do they need to be before the 'aged' part becomes a factor, is 2004 old enough?

I know this would prob be better posted on an SEO forum, but there seems to be some experts around here and I trust you guys opinions more.

Once I've made my mind up which ones I'm keeping you'll be the first to know. I'll PM you.

"aged" has meaning for a website, not a domain registration.

Oh ok, thanks PPP.

To tell you the truth I had no idea about the aged domains thing when I bought them, first off I liked the names, secondly I was quite tipsy and there was a sale going on. It was only later I realised some of them were aged and still had backlinks when I put them on cashparking for storage.

It has more to do with the age of the website ie: when it was first indexed.

If you bought a domain 10 years ago and only put a website up on it today which Google finds it will still be treated as a brand new website as if you had only registered the domain yesterday.

Where the aged preference would come in is with a website where the domain and website are X number of years old and have been indexed for that length of time.
