Re: Registration Redux: Does It Help to Register for Ten Years?
Although I cannot immediately put my finger on it, I do recall Matt Cutts stating, relatively soon after the above referenced patent application was published, that , while the length of term of most recent registration was a relatively minor factor in the grand scheme of things, it was a positive that could serve to help Google to differentiate between those sites which were truly spam and those which only appeared to be so, on the assumption that spammers were most likely to use throw-away domains acquired at the lowest possible cost, i.e., a 1 year term.
