Does PR increase with age?

[gopalkr]

I mean the older is a web page google give more PR for that. Is that true?
Ofcourse webpage should have quality data and enough traffic.

Re: Does PR increase with age?

Im pretty sure it is just backlinks. Backlins determine the importance of the website. An abandoned website whom someone continues to pay for the domain may still have a N/A pagerank despite it being ten years old. It wont all of a sudden get a PR2 or something, its unimportant to google

Not necessarily. If you have a site which you pretty much ignore or don't advertise well enough, people will never find your site and your PR will still be very low. I have some friends who have company websites that have been around for years now and their PR is still 0.

false, the most important factor of high pr is the content and the backlinks and not the aged of the site. But aged is important when it comes to se ranking.

I've never thought about that fact. In fact, if we think logically, the age shouldn't be a factor, so it shouldn't count. On the other side, there can be any dependency that any developed and good PR site, after a period of time, the conditions that are responsible for the PR become higher in some points, but cannot be caught, so Google can use the age as a trick.

sharkee's post prove that theory, because if the PR is 0 it will keep that way

No, pr does not increase with age. It increases only with backlinks, because if they increase by age, then their would be tons of high pr websites.

PR of a site increases with the uniqueness of the content and the number of back links you have and that is why unique content industry is booming presently.

Re: Does PR increase with age?

No not all. The page rank only increases with the content and backlinks of your site. If you place the right contents and backlinks, you may get a higher page rank in a shorter period of time.

Re: Does PR increase with age?

Who knows.. May be age does matter according to google's algorithm but the most counting factor are the quality backlinks.

[puffin]

It doesn't unless your the amount of back links you have goes up. If you loose backlinks your PR will get lower.

This is something new that I've never heard before. Personally I don't think as it goes with age, the PR will increase. There are new sites which are getting a lot of visitors and with great links have higher PR than those old sites.

[erthy]

The age of the domain is a factor used by google's algorithm to calculate PR, but it would be completely useless having an old domain and no backlinks or content. However, if two sites had exactly the same amount (and quality) of content and backlinks, but one was several years older than the other, the elder may have a slightly higher pagerank. That's how I understand it anyway

Well age do plya a factor but unless you have some good quality back links it wont effect. But age do play factor in ranking of the site if optimized well.
