Links on domains under 2 years old decay 2.6x faster than links on 8+ year domains
Across 720 placements grouped by host-domain age (n=720, 18-month tracking), survival differed sharply.
18-month link survival by host age:
— Domain under 2y: 49%
— 2-5y: 64%
— 5-8y: 73%
— 8y+: 83%
Young domains churn content, get sold, pivot niches, or vanish. Aged domains with stable editorial histories keep your link live far longer. The DR badge today says nothing about whether the site exists in 18 months.
Weight host-domain age into donor selection — an 8-year-old DR 40 often outlasts a 1-year-old DR 60.
