Why do we need to do this
Older domains on average tend to be higher quality sites and their links on average are more powerful than newer sites. Google gives your site higher rankings in the search results if your results are from older domains.
What is a domain: Our domain for example is: http://www.hotelconsultant.com
Why does Google believe this: Google has found over time that websites that have been in existence for a long time are on average higher quality sites than recently created sites. Links from older domains receive a stronger boost in rankings on average.
