        From my knowledge I can safely say the age of the domain is from the day your domain is registered.

        Thanks

            Yes.

            The age of a domain does not equal the age of a site necessarily. A domain can be purchased and sit empty for years. Of course, Google is aware of when a site is first indexed.

            To be clear, it has been demonstrated a domain or website's age has no direct value for SEO. Indirectly, there is the correlation that the longer a site or domain has been active, the longer the opportunity for link building.

            If you buy a 10 year old domain with no links to it, you will not have any more value then a brand new domain from a SEO ranking perspective.

              I would second Ryan's point.  Its what you put in.  Many people have domains with no content so it is the activity and quality of content that matters on the domain.

                Would the wayback machine coincide with when Google starts indexing?
