      What's the best way to determine the age of a site?

      Where by it's beginning I mean when it went through the Google Sandbox and has been a functioning site every since.

      Thanks!

        I've previously used Webconfs do research domain age - it's a pretty good resource.  Don't think you'll be able to tell exactly when it made it's way through the Google Sandbox, but you should at least be able to determine when it went online.  Although, if it was was anytime after 1998-99, then it's almost guaranteed to have made a trip to the box 😉

          are you talking about versions of sites to see how old that particular website is or the domain?

          obviously whois information is great for domains

          http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp

          there is also a way to see old versions of websites here:
