  What is an Exact Match Domain? Why was this useful in SEO?  Exact Match Domain (EMD) are domain names that contain the keywords of the main query on which a company seeks to position its site. For example digitalmarketinglahore.com EMDs were widely exploited for SEO between 2000 and 2012 because they allowed sites using an EMD to benefit from a  “natural” advantage  to position themselves  more easily  on the targeted keyword. At that time, Google's algorithm was much less advanced than today and the technique of stuffing keywords into the content of a site (also called keyword stuffing) was in full swing, including in domain names. Google's official position on EMD Faced with the abuse of this practice considered as an attempt to manipulate its algorithm, Google began deploying filters in 2010 to minimize their inclusion in the SERPs. The update called “Exact-Match Domain” of September 2012 sealed the fate of this SEO “technique” by declassifying sites that exploited an EMD

A site with an old domain name would have an advantage over Google compared to a site with a recent domain name when it comes to positioning itself because Google would place more trust in it due to its age. The subject has been discussed for 20 years and still has not been put aside despite the answers provided by Google, which, for once, leave no room for interpretation.   What is Google's official position on this subject?

Question: Does the age of the domain name still matter today in SEO? Answer: No, the age of the domain name doesn't help. In the past, Google had already declared through the voice of Matt Cutts that: The data provided by the registrar is of no importance.

Do you really have to wait a long time to see SEO results?

SEO agencies regularly highlight the fact that it is necessary to be patient to obtain significant results when a company embarks on the implementation of an SEO strategy. This is particularly the argument that is often raised when the discussion with the SEO agency's sales representative comes to the subject of the duration and cost of the service.  Support contracts with SEO service providers are generally for 12 months and this is justified by the fact that it is necessary to wait between 6 months and 1 year to significantly improve the visibility of a site.  This explanation is a generality that may turn out to be false or true depending on the initial situation of the service.
