Anyone care to give me an insight ? Do search engines give them a higher trust value because of their age or something ?

Cause most new domains get sandboxed for about a year. -
Well I knew that, is there anything of more significance of owning a domain thats lets say 8 years + when it comes to SEO ?Originally posted by Hooligan
Or is it just the sandboxComment

I don't know, but my guess would be that they are spidered, and archived, and checked over and over for changes. Basically in the system. but, I am guessing, cuz i don't know.Comment

Just the sandbox.
Some people buy old, already indexed domains with PR just to spam SE's.Last edited by Hooligan; 07-18-2006, 03:15 PM.Comment

The search engines reward older sites. It also gives older sites to get more backlinks etc etc.Comment

Just like a gallery submitter. I'm going to accept a guy who's been submitting to me for 4 years instead of this new kid who's shit could be filled with spyware.Comment

Um.... yeah... I've never had a site sandboxed. If it was sandboxed, it must have only been like a month tops.Originally posted by HooliganComment

You have reading comprehension? I didn't say 'all' sites get sandboxed.Originally posted by wedouglas
But most do.Comment

I'd love to hear where you got your "But most do" conclusion from.Originally posted by HooliganComment

So would a domain 10 years old rank better than a domain that was 5 years old with the search engines ?Originally posted by FreeHugeMoviesComment

The age of a domain is one of hundred++ different factors that determine the ranking of a site.Originally posted by CoatsyComment
-
Maybe if the sites were 100% the same in every other respect. There are way too many other factors that determine rank. If CNN.com luanched myCNN.com tomorrow, I gaurantee it would outrank a site that has been around since the WWWs conception.Originally posted by Coatsy
It depends on a lot more than age.Comment
-
Agreed, I suppose I'm trying to establish if its an important factor or not basically. Whats your thoughts ?Originally posted by jrapComment
-
Yep, I believe it is an important factor. However, it's not just the age of the domain that's important, it's also the history.Comment
-
ie if its been banned by google or not, if its traded links with bad neighbourhoods etc ? Have I missed any main points on the history of the domain or would you mind listing them if you have the timeOriginally posted by jrapComment

lol this is pure bullshitOriginally posted by HooliganComment

What exactly is the score with the sandbox, is it just a theory someone came up with which spread through the SEO webmaster boards ?Originally posted by nico-tComment

i think a 'sandbox' is when you get flagged for a website that is too spammy for a keyword(s). So there really aint a sandbox - i have sites that are too spammy that got dropped down from page 1 to page 40 or whatever, now i know why - not gonna share that info thoughOriginally posted by CoatsyComment

I see, I did a bit of reading and it seems sites can be sandboxed for a number of reasons. Interesting stuff cheers !Originally posted by nico-tComment

Bump for the quest of more info !Comment
