I have mixed feelings in this. Does anyone know if buying a domain one year at a time differ from buying it for 10 years in the SERPS?
Will purchasing 10 years on a domain help SERPS?

I've heard that buying a domain for 5+ years vs. 1 year can affect AdWords Quality Score, and since SEO can also affect the QS, it makes sense that the domain registration period would affect the SERPs. I have been purchasing one-year registrations and getting ranked, so I really don't think that the registration period is a huge factor.

If you are referring to the expiry date, I don't think it matters.
However, if you are serious about your domain as your Internet business, I don't see a point of buying it one year at a time.
Basically, for less than $10 a year on registration, it is always a positive investment.
I would just register for as long as I can so I won't have to worry about it at a later date.

every detail matters. throw-away domains are usually bough for one year so it's not a good idea to be the same as them. age of the domain matters much more, but sometimes even a 0.5% improvement (let's say you get it for later expiration day) helps.
Agree keyword in the domain name is FAR more important than age.. You do see minor improvents for 6 months with a new domain even with no back links . The number of years before it expires is even less some domain vendors only allow 1 years and tehy arent going to penalize big companies many of which i have checked expire yearly.

It mattered in the late 90's, because there wasn't much other information to gather about a site. There were companies that would sell 50 year registrations because of this. It does not matter for modern search engines.
