Register Your Domain for 10 years?
What’s the point? Well, when trolling through many forums on this topic, it seems that many senior level SEO’s and contributers believe that it does help…. Or that it at least can not hurt.
Here’s a few reasons for a lengthy registration:
1. Shows the Search Engines that you’ll be around for a while.
2. Lowers your price per year.
3. Secures your domain for that time period.
4. Even though they might not use it, Google has a patent application that looks at this data.Those who agree that it might not hurt argue that spammy domains would rather save a few bucks here and there than risk paying for 10 years for a blacklisted domain.
Jon Glick, formerly of Yahoo’s search team backs this up by stating that when the IRS determines who to audit, each “flag” has a certain value, and if you have a high enough score, Zapp! - you’re audited. A one year registration is just one of those metaphorical flags.
