It has been seen that as your domain name gets older, its chances of achieving higher ranking in search engine increases. The domain name that’s very new to the Google search engine might be blocked from getting high ranking which is known as sandbox effect. This sentence would give the notion that if you are launching a new domain then you are less likely to get good rankings for sometime. Thus it might demotivate many webmasters who might think its futile to try to get higher rank in Google.
But this is not true, as the domain age has nothing to do with the ranking they achieve is less time or more time. It depends upon the link profile and the manner in which it is developed. However old sites have more link profile than newly launched one, for instance site that is 2 years old has larger link profile than those who became online recently.
Google has three primary aspects which they take into account when they scan the links that point to your website. The search engine also sees the number of links that points back to your web pages, hence number does counts. Apart from quantity search engines also see quality of these back links. Even the domain authority that points to your site is seen, the page links that are working and relevancy of your web content is also scanned by search engine bots.
Diversity of the link profile is also seen, things like whether you are getting links from many domains or just few ones is observed. The time period of links that are actively pointing towards your website is seen by the Google. The longer the duration, stronger it would get. Such factors are totally against spamming, therefore those interested in building high quality links through spamming will not benefit as much they desire.
You can constitute that link profile, its quantity, quality and maturity is what that matters for domain name success. If all the above aspects are done in correct manner than you are surely going to get higher ranking. Sometimes company name is used in URL, which is very good idea. It makes for the visitors to find your website easily on world wide web thus increasing chances for huge visitor base.
As far as SEO is concerned, it has to be done in certain way that carries out regular maintenance of the site visibility and web traffic.
