Do you really think age is that valuable in SEO?

Age and PR based in my experience has a huge impact in SEO. And yes, 301 redirect still works.

Yes this still works, works pretty well to be honest. Just don't link a bunch of aged domains to your site all at once.

I have one old site that has been moving up pretty well since penguin and I haven't done a thing to it in months. It has an aged and pr2 domain redirected to it with the main KW in it.
