Coderepair went from a 16 to a 95 grade score in under a year according to Website Grader. How did I do it, you might ask. Natural methods of search engine optimization helped my website to gain popularity online.

Writing articles gave me backlinks, or inbound links to my website. A website’s grade is partially based on how many inbound links point to it. Also by subscribing to websites that offer inbound links, I also raised my grade.

Another measure that is used to calculate a website’s score is the number of pages that a site has. By adding a blog post twice a week and adding pages to my resources section, I managed to get my site from 10 pages to over 400 in this last year.

Having an aged domain certainly didn’t count against me. Being this website started in April 2003 gives it a bit of authority according to search engines. So when faced with the decision of whether to build your website on an aged domain or to come up with a new one, I would build on the aged domain.

Build an online presence with a good reputation to promote your business. Use natural methods of SEO, write articles and blog posts often to get some inbound links to your website, and an aged domain never hurts.
