Default Domain Age Algorithm

How much time does it take for a web site to overcome the Domain Age factor? My domain is created on the 5th of October 2006, indexed for the first time by Google on the 19th of October 2006 and in December 2007 got a PageRank 5.
Is the site still in a probation period?

Thanks,

John

Many SEOs claim that it is 18 up to 24 months, and I would like the opinions of others too.
There are SEO companies that they do not accept clients which their domains/sites are younger than two years.

I have one site I launched December 24, 2007, but technically took it live in January 2008. By May 2008 it was PageRank 3. Not great, but not bad. for such a short time.

I think quality content and quality backlinks will override Domain Age factors everytime.

Our web site was launched in October 2006 and in December the same year we got PR5. Later it went up to PR6 and at the last updated due to a problem we had with supplemental pages because of a mess in our forums we went back to PR5.

So I do not understand how do you determine a factor being overridden talking about PR.

Perhaps I did not correctly interpret your original post. My understanding of the Domain Age Algorithm is perhaps different than yours.

What I have been told is that newer domains have a much more difficult time achieving PR as they are allegedly being penalized by Google for the relative youth of the domain. While I suppose it is impossible to determine the relative PR of the exact same site as compared to 2-3 years from now, it has been my personal experience that the PR complaints of newer sites (complaining that they can't rank because of age) is not necessarily true.

I apologize if I misunderstood your intent.

This was my thoughts too. Who cares what the tool bar says, it all a smoke screen anyway. Too much credibility is given to tool bar PR anyway by far too many as a measure of success. But you guys in this thread know this so I can only assume it's the domain age limiting results.

I think I must be in a very vertical and limited market place as age plays no role in my sites getting listed and only a slight delay in PR results which frankly I no longer look at. But I put up a couple of new pages on one site and it has not yet been listed for page rank yet. But one I put up a few months back and that has a tool bar page rank of 3

Moving off at a slight tangent to this, how or why does the Google alogorithim vary country to country? I can understand different results for different countries in local issues and searches for local businesses. But why do the results vary country by country when searching for things of an international nature. For example, why do Google return different results on .com, .com.au, .co.uk, .fr, .sp etc when searching for a site in say Greece? (.gr) surely one one site can be more revevant than another if you are say german or italian"

I have had one experiece in not being listed or hard to get listed and the only discerable difference was the hosting done by GODADDY all other hostings were up and fine..

also having taken a look at posting Villas and apartments in Kefalonia,self catering holiday villas with pools,Agia Efimia, Kefalonia the problem may be in the code for ranking
<title>Villas and apartments in Kefalonia,self catering holiday villas with pools,Agia Efimia, Kefalonia</title>
get rid of commas and rewrite focus on product

<title>greek island villa apartment for rent villas island holiday vacation Agia Efimia Kefalonia Greece </title>

You are going off topic and you are hijacking my thread. If you want to ask something, please start an own new thread.

By the way I am half Greek and I speak fluent Greek. "Entaxi Patrida?"

I find at times there can be a "honeymoon" period with new domains on Google so providing the spiders find you from a couple of popular sites (links) you will be ranked on page one almost from day one of launch, but then if you have got it a bit wrong the slow descent into obscurity starts after a couple of weeks! Thats when SEO comes into play! Again I must point out I am in a vertical market place so my experience may not be others experiences!

i think this is as simple as a newish domain is not going to rank well for heavyweight terms because it hasnt yet had time to gain the authority links required to do so.

im not a long time webbie / seo like some on here and so cant comment since pre late 94 ish but i havent seen any signs of this domain age thing since i started playing back then.
