I was recently told by one of the large hosting providers in the country that the longer your site has been around the higher the point ranking.
Thoughts?

    Hi,
    The longer your domain name is available to be indexed it can help your site`s standing. So, it is a good idea once you buy a domain name to get at least a temporary site up an running.
    This does not guarantee that older sites always beat newer sites in search engine results. Many other factors affect search engine results.
