Domain age is the first thing smart buyers check — not because Google directly rewards old domains, but because age correlates with backlinks, history, and trust signals.

A 12-year-old domain with a clean history is a head start. The same age with a spammy past is a penalty waiting to happen. Age alone tells you nothing without the backstory.

Before buying, check the registration date, then dig into archive snapshots and the backlink profile. Look for previous penalizations, thin content eras, or ownership gaps.
