How important is the age of a website?

To achieve high ranking in the serps is it very important for the website to be several years old? Or can new sites get top rankings just as easily?

It depends on a lot of things. Half or more of what people attribute to the age of a site has to do with the simple fact that the longer you're around, the more links you'll gather.

I don't know if I'm right, But when your website is new, It gets on to what they call, "Sandbox?" which prevents you to rank on SE's.... And it happens to new sites due to lack of relevant content on your pages. just my 2 cents...

I personally think the "Sandbox" thing is a myth perpetuated by webmasters who expect to see instant ranking and results. It's like the opposite of what ForrestCroce said.

the age of the website could be an advantage anyway, but don't expect to got high ranking just because of the age of your site!

I think that domain age is somewhat prioritize in SERPs.

I won't be going to the first site in the thread starter's signature looking for any tips on "Google Traffic Secrets"!

I don't know of any real evidence showing the Sandbox is an actual part of Google's code.

There's no reason a new site can't have good content. I'm not sure what relevant means in this context?

I believe that age is huge. I have a website that has hundreds of more links and more content, a blog, well optimized but can't seem to pass some of the older sites that havent been worked on in years.

Age of website is important because the authority of a certain site was based on a domain age however having unique content and quality links is another factor to increase your rankings..

Age is important especially regarding the first two years of a site's existence. Some SEO experts like Jim Boykin won't even take on client's whose sites are less than two years old because of the Google domain-age factors. Whether you call it a sandbox or not, there ARE age factors.
