In the initial testing of the survey, one fact that consistently appears in the results that rank in the top 10 are sites that have been around a long time. Obviously, these sites have had greater time to build links & content, but there appears to be little correlation between these items. The data seems to suggest that age by itself is playing a role in how Google is ranking websites. I'll continue to look for other factors that could be a result of age that are influencing results, as age alone seems like an unlikely factor to build an algorithm around.
Rand, you ve gone a really really long way to reach where you are... I appreciate that...
but now older site doesn't get any more benefit bcz i have seen many new website ranking well in serp.
Great info guys, Yes we need long time for get Pagerank, but We can great position in google with keywords.

It could be part of it but only a small part - really I wanted to read the 2nd post ever :)
Speaking of the wayback machine, SEOMoz could prove itself to be one shortly.
Ahhh, the good ol days.
Indeed!
Age is important, i see most SEO tolls are taking this as a major factor.
It sure is!
Google is giving more Importance to TLD , Age of your website , Keywords in Domain name (that should be not given Because this is the age of Branding ) No of Pages in your websites. Purchasing a domain for longer Time is also a + Point in the eyes of Search Engines .
