My Personal experience says that the domain age never matters,I have blogs and they are years old but they have the same PR of 2.
Raja,
After going over a few of the blog posts on
your blog, I seriously appreciate your way of writing a blog.
very useful article, it helped me a lot, you have summarized all the steps in order to increase page rank
Can’t satisfy with your tips because of the Link Exchanging techniques. I remember on the recent Matt Cutts update he Said: You can link together of your blog if the site related. But doesn’t mean to exchange links with any. I know that’s would give you the higher penalty…
Try to only get links from sites that are related to our niche. Unnatural backlinks looks suspicious to Google and you can get sand-boxed.
