Registration date

[Fabri]

When someone sell a domain, is it correct say the first registration date, or i say the registration of the dropped ? For example, if a domain have the first registration in 1997, and i drop it...when i sell can i say it's a 1997 domain ? or not ?

thanks

You can say the domain has history since 1997.

But this is only a selling point when dealing with other domainers. End-users don't give a turd when the domain was initially registered, and why should they?

domain loses its antiqueness so to say when it is dropped from original register date... but all good its all in the name :D

But an old domain hasn't more value ? If i drop a 1997 domain is it not better respect if it was registered on 2007 ?

Tell me one valid reason why this is the case and I will donate you 100 NP$.

AlphaCDC.com was registered in 1986 and USA.com was registered in 1999. Does make AlphaCDC.com more valuable than USA.com?

While older domains tend to be more valuable on average, this does not at all imply that age is the source of their value. That's as ridiculous as saying "People are more likely to drown on days they eat ice cream. Therefore, ice cream causes drowning."

yes, you have right, but i'm speaking for the same domain name, and old registration date it's not more good for google ?

Website age can positively impact Google ranking because older websites tend to have a higher backlink count and "stood the test of time".

However, domain age (as written in the whois) has absolutely zero effect on Google ranking. Google engineer Matt Cutts has said this repeatedly:
