Why do we need to do this
Google based on experience found that websites that were longer in existence tended to have higher quality content that was more appropriate to the searcher. Google therefore gives a slight boost in rankings to older domains.
What does this mean
A domain also sometimes called a URL is the internet name of your website’s address. Our domain for example is: http://www.hotelconsultant.com.
What do I do: Click on http://smallseotools.com/domain-age-checker/ and do the following.
What do I do now: You will then get the age of your domain. Here is hotelconsultant.com’s age below. Do this for your competitors and compare your ages, i.e. the older the better.
