Analyzing First Page Competition

Okay, so I use Market Samurai to analyze the first page of competition in Google for my keyword.


Now, how much should I really worry about aged domains? What's a good number for backlinks, less then 100?


Thanks
Nick

    Aged domains don't matter all that much unless they are really targeted to your niche and look like big authority sites. Also, the backlinks are only as powerful as their quality. If you check the site and it's full of 1000 spammy links, you may stand a chance of beating them.

      Thank you for your swift response! How do I check for quality in their backlinks?

    For market samurai, you need to check (according to importance):-
    1. BLP
    2. Onpage SEO
    3. PR
    4. Any EMD on first page
    5. DA
    6. Gov/edu backlinks

    SEOSpyglass, ibacklinkpro, majesticseo, ahrefs are 4 tools you can use to do baclink check.

    Domain age doesn't matter if you have strong and quality back link to get better SERP.

    An aged site with quality backlinks will outrank a new(ish) site with quality backlinks.

    At least this has generally been my experience.

    Aged domain has very good role in SEO. And try to create as many as quality backlinks.
