Domain Age

[Svaba923]

How is it possible that someone is selling a domain, for example, 15 years old If by changing the domain owner the age of the domain starts again from day 1. Is it possible that there are so many people who are holding domains for 10,12,15,20 years or ...?

Domain doesn't lose age by selling it to a new owner only if it goes through the expiration process. I have quite a few .coms that are 10-20+ years old.

Yep, what he said.....lol - Domains age doesn't reset on new ownership.

I suspect there are a lot of members who have names that are 15+ years old. I have for example.

Right question here.

New question, does age of a domain increase their value despite of the name quality itself?

Does it affect SEO? If so, in what way?

Which one do you think is better, a decent two words name freshly regged/dropped or mediocre two words name with 10+ years old?

I'd consider quality of the domain #1. Age may add a little icing/trust to the cake but there are plenty of 10-20+ year old worthless domains out there that just keep getting renewed so they fall into the vintage turds category. Age is a good filter when scanning drop lists as the odds of something old being a good domain is higher than scanning 1 year old domains as availability was higher for good domains back in the day when there was less competition hunting for them.
