Long Domain Registration An Important Google Ranking Factor in SEO?

Is really long domain / website registration an important Google Ranking Factor in Search Engine Optimization / SEO?

There’s been a lot of talk amongst the SEO industry that says this is true.  They’re saying that a domain they registered for five to ten years got indexed up to ten to fifteen times faster than the domain they registered for only one year.

But what is reality, let me try to explain this briefly; 

In older days it was considered that long domain registration would impact the ranking in Google and other search engines. And lot of software (web analytics and others) included this factor that if your domain is registered less than one year, your site will slow down and will not have suitable ranking in search engines. Even lot of articles is available, that you should register your domain more than five years.

But in fact I don’t believe on this. This is an agreement between you and your service provider. There are 200 ranking factors of Google and hardly 10 to 20 Google reveled. The rest of all are assumptions by internet experts. In fact the DNS, registrar companies (I will not mention any name) might spread this information on the internet that you should have to register your domain name more than five years if you want a good ranking.(May be they want to increase their revenue by spreading this wrong information).

In Short – There’s nothing a ranking impact to register your domain name more than five years. The main ranking factors includes the content of the site, structure of the site, SEO Metadata, correct use of all Metatags, inbound links, out bound links, Google Page Rank, domain age (how old the domain is, not when this will expire), On page and Off page optimization etc.

You’r comments are most welcome.
