No, the domain age is based upon creation date return from whois. Domains can be transferred to a different registrar, only the updated date gets changed.

Update on my situation so far: I just got my aged domain article indexed on Google and after getting the article indexed I did the 301 redirect but
must it be above everything else? as in literally above everything? (check screenshot below)
Next step: The backlinking part but before that
how do I check whether the age has been passed on to
my brand new money site?

Another que.
I am buying 2 hosting one for my website , and one for the aged domain.
Can i get a cheap host for the aged domain considering all its doing is redirecting to the other website?

There appears to be a considerable amount of anecdotal consensus on the internet that age and rank both transfer with a 301 redirect... most times but not all.
Here's an interesting twist I found. It's hard to find a really old domain that also has high PR. When one does show up at auction, the bids usually get pretty high. So just buy an aged domain without worrying about the PR. Build your money site on it. Then buy a high PR domain without worrying about the age and redirect it to your old domain. Now you get the best of both worlds. Or vice versa, of course.

There was another interesting point I came across. If you're going to redirect an aged domain to a new domain, and the old domain has several pages/posts associated with it, be sure to do a 310 redirect for every page/post and if possible have each redirect pointed to a page/post on the new domain that has the most relevant content.
You can do a site:domainname.com to see which pages are indexed. Use SEOQuake to determine which pages have page rank and be sure to at least redirect those.

I've read through loads of these replies and haven't found the answers to this, so I'm going to just post it here and hope it gets answered.
1) Doesn't age get dropped on domains when they expire? Like, if you don't renew them doesn't Google reset their age to 0?
2) Why does the 301 domain need to be hosted at Namecheap? If we're just going to 301 it, can't you just use like 000webhost for 3 days to get it indexed, and then 301 the site over to your other site?

i can't answer question #1 but i think i know the answer to q#2 so i'll take a stab.
if you at some point choose to flip your site, u may wish to also give over the 301 as well. this is how i understand it.

But cant you just buy a really cheap host(1 dollar a month)?
the whole idea around namecheap is that you can do transfers for free but i see your point. lets wait for bobby to answer... i'm also curious about this

I think I can answer #1. I've bought several aged domains at GD. Unfortunately I was ignorant about things like fake PR and whether theyw were indexed or not. Live and learn.
Anyway, they all maintained their age from when they were first created when you look at Whois. Now I'm not sure whether G looks mostly at the date created or at the date of the oldest archived page like you'd find on the wayback machine.

1) That is very debatable; some say it goes to 0, I don't believe that it does. If the domain still has cached pages in Google, it obviously would not be set at 0 because that would not make sense.
2) It does not have to be with namecheap, but they are super easy to use and have live 24/7 support.

I disagree with that personally.
Google is primitive, so if they have to do more work on your site to determine how to calculate your rank in their search engine, they will just give you a penalty.
I would simply 301 redirect the homepage, which auto-redirects all the posts on the site.

It depends on your keyword.
If the allintitle:keyword in Google is less than 50k, you'd probably need about 1k-2k ALN links.
If it is less than 200k, you'd need 2k-4k ALN links.
If it is less than 1 million, you'd need 5k-7k ALN links.
Also when you rank in the desired position, do not build more links because this will effect your site in a negative way.
Last, make sure that you target 3-7 keywords for your anchor texts when buying links.

Bobby,
do you think ALN still works after the Panda 3.3 ?

Thanks for the great answers.
Question: What if the only page that is cached is the main url and it is cached with the godaddy message "NOTICE: This domain name expired on 02/10/2012 and is pending renewal or deletion. This web page is parked FREE, courtesy of GoDaddy.com. gonational."
Example
Very useful information, as far as search volume to posts. So is this personal experience or have you done actual tests/case studies?
But, I've definitely heard around that ALN posts aren't good for the money site. For instance http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo/419925-can-aln-links-removed.html

I would also like to know this. Also do you notice any difference when using aged .coms vs. aged .infos for the redirect. I know for a fact that .infos are way harder to rank and sustain but if I am strictly just using them for their age and 301 redirect would it also pass on the .info troubles??
