I have a question that I hope someone more experienced in domain investing can provide insight on....
Very frequently I see mention in domain name sales that the domain is aged or how many years old it is, as though this is universally a good thing.
I understand completely how if the domain has been used in a website in a positive way, has received meaningful links from other websites, etc. that being aged is a plus that will make the domain more valuable.
However, what if the domain was first registered say 12 years ago, but has essentially sat parked for most or all of that period? In this case I don't see how being aged is positive, and maybe even it could be negative if an unsuccessful attempt has been made to sell the domain over years. Of course, you may have new ideas for promotion and hope to find success where others have not with the domain name, but I still don't see why per se being aged is always positive and meaningful.
Or am I missing something? Thanks for any insights.
