TL;DR

Google does not consider domain age as a ranking factor. The focus should be directed elsewhere to enhance SEO. Concentrate on elements that truly matter.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

L'âge du domaine a-t-il déjà été un facteur de classement?
Officiellement, non. Google n'a jamais déclaré l'âge du domaine comme critère influençant.
Est-ce que les domaines plus anciens sont toujours mieux positionnés?
Pas nécessairement. La qualité du contenu prime sur l'âge du domaine.
Pourquoi croire que l'âge a un rôle dans le SEO?
Les mythes persistants fictionnalisent souvent des corrélations observées entre sites établis et classement.
