hey guys simple question here. I recently bought a domain that has been registered for 4 years (but no website on it!) As soon as i bought it i put a simple wordpress holding page on it and while use this site in about a years time. So my question, are those 4 year counted towards the domains age?? or does it have to have a website on the domain for 4 years for it to be classed as and aged domain of 4 years? Plus, it'll be 5 years old once i work on it. Will 5 years domian be seen as a solid domain age? Many thanks in advance Tony
If the domain is parked or has a site on it then the age counts, if not and it sits in your godaddy account or whatever, the age helps but not half as much as if it had a relevant site or article on it. Look at the waybackmachine, and see the previous versions of the indexed site, if none, then not much help.
thanks mate! thats what i was thinking. was hoping i'd be wrong and thise four years woul carry more weight! lol i'll check out the time machine now. cheers
