What Are The Age Factors For SEO?
Knowing and understanding age factors is an important part of SEO. These are the factors that no one can really fake although I am sure many have tried. Links can be manipulated, purchased, exchanged or scammed.
Age itself cannot be manipulated so it is probably the one honest component in rankings. When we talk about SEO, Age is:
- Domain Age - Age of your domain and how long it has remaining on its registration;
- Link Age - Age of links pointing to your site;
- Site Age - When the site was first found by each Search Engine;
- Page Age - The Age of the page when first found by a Search Engine.
The one factor in search engine optimization that no one can fake is when the Search Engines first found the website and the data they have about the site at that point. Early data can effect your long-term rankings, so how sites start can be important for their future rankings.
Whilst age is an important issue, it is also something that you do little about. You can’t backdate when a search engine finds you content or site.
Age is only a small factor, but an important one to understand. Getting content indexed quickly is important so the ageing process can start. Of course, age has little bearing on quality.
