I'm surprised to see it that high considering the source.

Yeah, why do links seem to carry so much more weight... hmmm... 7 out of top 10? if you have watched these guys and I know some of the experts personally... then you know many are a little biased on the link side and don't give much credit to how HTML elements/site IA, and languistic semantics are possibly used in ranking and links. The consensus "opinion" was heavily skewed to SEO by link development and controlling incoming link text. IMO, Age as a factor is hidden by the trees in the forest ie:most Seo's pre-occupation with links.

Age could easily influence all or most of the top 10 factors listed there. IMO, llike many things experts tout.... take it with a grain of salt and do what fits your skill set. Personally, the link stuff is given waaaaaaaaaaay more credit then it's due!
