Using Internet Archives for checking Domain Age
Checking the first archive page is a good indicator of domain age. The largest and most popular archive is the Wayback Machine which contains 10 billion pages collected as early as year 1996, just a year before Larry and Sergey first crawled the internet using a program named Googlebot in year 1997.
A number of Domain age checkers such as webconfs.com are using their library index for domain age. Archive-it and WebCite are other alternatives but with only limited index usually images, pdf’s and newspaper articles.
How to check the age of domain using archives:
- Go to Wayback Machine page.
