Today's question comes from landlubber in Colorado.
Landlubber wants to know is it true that domains registered before 2004 have a totally different way of getting paid rank. It is pre 2004 domains are highly desirable to buy because they still get paid rank based on old easier criteria from back then plan Lubber that is completely false.
There is absolutely no difference between 2004 domains 2005 domains 2006 domains.
They all acquire reputation in the same way.
There is literally no value to getting a pre 2004 domain or pregoogle IPO domain or whatever conspiracy theory you want to spew out.
Please, we have enough crazy SEO theories going on without new ones, so no excuse me, there's no difference whatsoever.
Get a domain that works and works well for you and do not worry about whether it was created before 2014.
