Length of domain registration helps Google ranking? - GoFuckYourself.com

sickkittens · 02-09-2006, 02:42 PM

Is this common knowledge? Never really heard about it until today.

chupachups · 02-09-2006, 02:43 PM

Yes it does (short answer I know)

gfx3 · 02-09-2006, 03:04 PM

It does since google took a patent on this. I bought 4 years extra registration on my domain name since I know this. Google says it has no impact but who believes them.

Trax · 02-09-2006, 03:06 PM

I think, that everything you can imagine google could consider as a sign of solid website helps for your rankings.

I was just going to say that this could've just been a way to increase profits at domain registrars... I wasn't aware that google became one

This is pretty funny.

He is not referring to the time between today and when the registration expires, he is referring to the time SINCE the domain was first registered. The older the domain, the higher it will rank.

I believe that was the original question.

Nope. I was referring to the length of the purchased registration, not overall length of time a domain has been registered..

...The reason it paid a $2,500 application fee and $6,500 to cover six top-level domains is that it "wants to get a better understanding of the domain name system [and so] increase the quality of our search results". The email address it gives with relation to its new registrar status is [email protected].

Google notes that Amazon did exactly the same thing nearly two years ago. At that time, a March 2003 article in the Wall Street Journal pointed out that the online giant had become a registrar and assumed that it was about to launch a domain name selling business. It set the industry off - but we are still waiting, 47 months later.

So the question is: why become a registrar if you're not going to sell domains? Speculation is rife.

One idea is that it has to do with Google's AdSense for Domains business, which aims at the domain name industry. Google's technology "understands the meaning" of domain names, the company says, and then ties it in with search terms that people type in its search engines.

Then of course there is the possibility that it will find a way of tying in all of its other new services and connecting them to a domain name sale. So, for example, you buy "All-in-one.com" through Google and it gives you Gmail, Blogger and whatever else in a bundle. It does a Microsoft of the internet by getting you to use all its software and services and so give itself an enourmous amount of power and control.

Plus, if Google was in charge of your domain, it has access to everything that comes in and goes out and could use it to tackle spam more effectively....

acctman · 02-09-2006, 06:38 PM

i don't like that last part

sacX · 02-09-2006, 06:40 PM

hrm perhaps you mis-read. I doubt the length of registration has any effect. Whereas how long a domain has been registered certainly does.

You get up each day. Treat the stuff you do on your computer as a professional job. Never assume you can half ass it by asking a stupid fucking question on gfy and spend the next few years learning how to feed yourself and your family. One morning you wake up and years of practice and erudition has paid off : you're wealthy by most standards.

Linkster · 02-09-2006, 09:15 PM

acctman - if I had to make an educated guess about why they became a registrar it would be so that they would have unfetterred access to the whois database with the ability to scan it automatically for recently dropped domain regs to see who is buying domains for old links - something they expressed an interest in two years ago when they first started filing to become a registrar - and about the same time the use of expireds was driving them batty.

So basically what you're saying is this business is not a do-after-your-REAL-full-time-gig type of deal, eh?

Thanks. So basically, if I have a domain that is 6 years old, registering it for 6 years next time around should help it?

How long you've owned the domain and how long you register / renew it both have an effect.

It may affect something, but I have had plenty of new regged domains, domains that will expire in a few months, etc, all get good listings. Having a domain reged longer and buying it longer may help, but isn't the end all for any good listings.

I agree here...its basically what you do with the domain...better to get good backlinks, etc...everything is hypothetical when talking about search engine rankings.

for sure it does
