Would you like the Google to like your domain?

Some time ago I heard the gossips that Google doesn’t “like” web sites with newly registered domain names. Google likes old domain names with long history.

But … the domain history is not the only important factor. The future of domain is also important for Google ranking. If your domain registration expires in a couple of months then Google may have doubts if you are serious about your domain name and may slightly lower your web site rank. If your domain’s expiration date is far enough then Google thinks that you have serious long run intentions regarding your business and your web site. So, it may slightly increase your rank.

Most likely it’s just another urban legend. But who knows … This time I’ve renewed my domain names for two years, not for just one year as previously
