8 year old domain - Should I buy it?
There's a domain for sale on another forum that I go to. It's 8 years old and the BIN is only $40.
The domain however has no history in archive.org, but is indexed in Google. I checked the whois and it really is 8 years old, but I have a few questions:
Let's say I bought this domain and built a site around it. Would the fact that it's 8 years old help with rankings? Considering that there has never been a site built on this domain, would it be pretty much just like buying a brand new domain?
Also, would the fact that it's 8 years old mean that I'll be less likely to get demoted? For some reason I always manage to get onto the top 10 in Google for a brand new domain, but it never lasts. Even if I build links slowly. I always get kicked out of top 10 and it takes months for me to get back.
Thoughts appreciated.
