No it doesn't. You have to make it known for SE (google,MSN, Yahoo)

From a SEO perspective, Google ranks higher the sites that have been around for a longer time - they look for longevity, which is one mark of a good website. Of course, the longer you've been around, the more backlinks will have accumulated. Google also looks at how the backlinks appear -- thousands at once = penalty, but gradually accumulating in a natural pattern = good for SEO.

MSN search on the other hand, seems to rank highly some quite new sites as well.

One trick I've utilized successfully in the past is do some shameless keyword stuffing (around 8% keyword density seems to have worked for me) to get ranked highly by MSN, then leverage that exposure to get publicity and traffic, and backlinks, and then after a few months rewrite the content to bring the keyword density back to resembling natural language, and google will start liking it more.

I'm sure there are various theories about these things that contradict mine. I'm just saying this has worked for me. Good luck!

But I digress---

If I read this post correctly, it appears your asking if Domain Names value increases with time? (not the page rank).

The answer is of course. As the internet continues to boom and become the largest marketplace in the world domain names will absolutely go up in value. especially in areas that begin to take off.

For Example:

Templates.com

This domain (my numbers may be somewhat off, forgive me) sold for around $40,000 about 2 years ago. It re-sold this year for $450,000

(I appologize if my numbers are off, but I believe these prices to be close and im too lazy right now to go verify)

Domains as a whole have also seen quite a bit of growth. As this market heats up and attracts new "domainers" the value of domains will rise as demand increases and supply decreases. This simply basic principle will insure that a smart investment made today, will absolutely gain value in the future.

The answer to your question is yes or I wouldnt be doing this!

You are right, here let me verify it for you:

But one thing I'm concern is how accurate is the report? I mean since it is a private sale.

You are right about the growth but no human can predict the future. What if the demand decrease? I start to think that most "domainers" are optimistic people.

To put it simply:
The good domains tend to gain value over time.
On the other hand the mediocre domains will appreciate at a much slower pace, if any.
Age can help with SEO but there is no automatic relationship between domain age and ranking. It depends on a lot of parameters including the domain history.

If you believe in the "water-front real-estate" theory of domain names, then yes, they will continue to appreciate because there's only "so much to go around". However, it still depends heavily on the quality of the domain. For example, I'm guessing that "RealEstate.com" will continue to appreciate, whereas "ThisIsTheOnlyRealEstateDomainThatsLeft.com" will never really amount to much. (Check that one out... it might still be available. )

My understanding is that the guy who runs the site requires verification of sales reports... I believe that is pretty accurate.

In lower value domains the renewal fees can give them a negative value over time.

... do some shameless keyword stuffing (around 8% keyword density seems to have worked for me) to get ranked highly by MSN, then leverage that exposure to get publicity and traffic, and backlinks, and then after a few months rewrite the content to bring the keyword density back to resembling natural language...

Keyword rich is not natural keyword usage? I use keywords as much as I can use keywords. I even misspell keewords or break up key words so the SEs know what my keyword is.

I meant keyword stuffed content is not natural language. And SE's may penalize for keyword stuffing, at least Google, which to my knowldedge also penalizes pages with a lot of misspellings and bad grammar....

Of course, I don't know this for sure. Nobody seems to know. It's all speculation more or less. Google say they rank higher the pages with high quality language.

Have you had success with keyword stuffing?

Of course, these minor penalties don't matter much if you have a >PR7 site...but for those struggling to stay on spot 10 for their niche keyword, these small penalties may be crucial.
