[BUSINESS] longer renewals of domains

[gotonudecom]

yes, I understand google cares.

Easy test.

check your rankings.

pay for the registration for 2 more years. Not like you wont have to pay next year and probably more anyway, so no loss of money involved in this, might even save you some.

now watch your rankings.

if they improve go add 2 more years.

now watch again

if the improve then yes it helps.


I keep my active sites renewed for several years and then add a renewal every year. but I can afford $45 start cost and then a $9 cost per year for over 300 domains. Many of you $9 might break you.


Better be safe than sorry over $9 your going to spend sooner or later. if sooner helps try it.

I have seen some seo peeps say renew your domains for more than a year at a time

I doubt Google is going to take ANY notice of how long your domain is registered for.

Its totally meaningless for them. Some people auto-renew every year, others do it for longer. It has no relevance to whether they should show a user your site or not

Not a significant factor for Google at all

Glad others think the same way as me

I think that was a rumour put out by a domain registrar long time ago, not joking.

my short answer is, make great content and don't worry
1:08
nearly as much about how many years your domain is
1:11
registered for, just because someone is sending you an email that
1:14
says, Google does or even may use this in ranking, does not

Matt Cutts stating years ago "Nearly as much" means it is a ranking factor.

"Nearly as much" means to me that you should consider it and why not keep your domain registered at least a year out, so that it is never less than one year from renewal.
Especially, as I stated earlier, the price of registration is NOT going down, and it can NOT hurt to practice this.
if it does nothing, nothing lost.

Sounds a sales pitch to me

1. make sure you check the email you use to register domains and put your domains on auto-renew. I lost one last year through my own dumb fault, I did not check that old email and forgot to renew my domain.

This happened to me 3 years ago but I paid a $80 fee recovered my domain.

[Boner]

I go for 2 year renewals so not to be bothered renewing my domains all the time.

[blingman]

Age of the domain is what counts not how long you have renewed it for. If you register a domain and renew it for 10 years it is not as important to Google as a 10 year old domain constantly used as the same site with just a year of renewed time on it.

Bingo

[Ricks-Cams]

Only advantage is you will not forget to renew them.
