Hi there

I was wondering if is any profit from an aged domain. Can anyone advice how to take out the most of seo benefits? White hat only techniques.

Thanks in advance

Well to be honest aged domains can show more trust with search engines, but you really need to thing more about the overall quality of a site and the links which are coming in and also the social elements to the site.

Look at a site like Mashable - 2005 age (huge links, social, content ect)

Look at older sites made 1997 from example, less links, less social, less content - Mashable will out rank them.

I think with Age of sites it really works on a case by case example and many other factors also come into play,

Sure if you have a very new site i.e 3 months old v.s a 10 year old domain I will pick the 10 year old domain.

Another important factor is (Indexed age of the domain vs non indexed age of a domain) indexed domains are far better than domains which have never been indexed just registered on a specific date.

I hope this helps.

Yes it does help but its worth noting that Google is giving less and less weight to the age of the domain, just like they are doing to keyword domains as well, since they realize its something that can be gamed rather easily.
