Why does age of a domain matter?

[Sherax]

Hi there,

I am new in domaining.
I was just wondering why does age of a domain matter? I mean it is keyword that should matter.
And if age does matter, should I stop looking for expired domains? as their age starts from zero.

Thanks in advance.

most and great majority of quality domains you will also find to be well aged... as in you will never find buycar.com or gfc.com or ffa.net and countless other quality domains to be 1-2-3 years old.

that's the only thing you should remember about age imo.

cheers.

Yet every now and then a great domain drops and its age resets.

Example : Projects.com (Age : 2 )

It used to matter for SEO, but not any more. Sometimes just for the novelty factor it's cool if the name is aged, which could effect value or be a selling point. For me, it's not important at all.

I'm sure they do. like some people win lottery too.

the point I was making did not refer to the 1 in million exceptional cases.

cheers

IMO the most important factor of an aged domain--given that it's of quality--is that it usually comes with some accumulated interest.

so let me told you this, people paying big cash for domain because the name is so cool and it will be easy for them to make global identity with it, or because its exact much for there biz niche and this will cut losses of ad paying cash after ranking, but if you find domain with big potential but its new, emm there is something wrong with this domain and need investigation for client with low experience hi just move one, in seo goolge love the aged domains, how he rank 18 days and 18 years website with the same contents is definitely not the same, so ++ for quality & aged domains
