"The domain age is very important to Google, so when starting a new online business consider purchasing an existing domain rather than registering a new domain. Sedo is a great place to start your search."
Building links is a time consuming and expensive process. Waiting for domains to age and get trust, is nothing short of frustrating, as all you can do is.... Wait.
Despite there being rumours that domain trust gets "reset" when it expires or changes hands, most SEOs will admit to seeing rankings develop at much faster rates on established and linked domains when compared to freshly registered ones.
When launching a new website, if you can find a related domain (one that currently carries similar subject matter), with some links and age, you could be saving yourself a packet.
