Does the number of years a domain is registered have an effect on SERPS?

I don't think so. I've heard that it effects trust rank, but then again, what is trust rank? I think the age of the domain is of more importance, and that's where some people get confused. If your domain is 4 or 5 years old, it should rank better in the SERPs than an exact site with the exact same back links that's only 1 year old.

You can have domain name with 5 year reistration, but it maibe not indexed yet.

I have a theory about the google trust. I think it increases by the number of crawling. The more crawling a domain have the more google trust it gains. In general the number of crawling and the age of the domain is proportional.

Yep, it does. Google mentions this on their patent. It's because spam sites usuaully doesn't last no more than a year, so if you register it for longer durations, Google has some sense that it might not be a spam site.

I have noticed that my created new web pages signally increase after 3 monthes from the date the pages was indexed by google. Maybe google distrust of new pages?

I think in general the domain registration time would have some significance, I mean if you were going to employ some black hat techniques, or advertise adsense in certain ways that were against the TOS, you would hardly register the domain for a long period knowing that eventually the domain would be banned.

I think the search engines would think this as well and possibly use that information in their algo's as well, albeit of a small significance but in the algo none the less.

But, looking forward, a search engine couldn't possibly determine if a site is going to last by the number of years it's registered for. It can however look back and see how old the site is, and how long it's been in existence.

Spam sites are just as capable of knowing that search engines place more trust in future registration as any other site. They could easily fool the search engines into believing that site isn't spam simply by registering their domain for 5 years. That in and of itself would make it useless for search engines to look at how many years a domain is registered for, because they can't tell a sites intentions just by that information alone.

I agree, age of the domain is definitely of importance, all I'm saying is IMO, I think registration period would be in the algo, although it maybe of small importance.

I'm also not sure what part of a search engines algo could tell a site's intentions by any part of the algo alone.

Kenni comes up trumps again. Where is the place(URL) it's mentioned in the patent?

It seems so, but it's that illogical because newer webpages are more important in many cases. Say for example you want the last news and information about a topic. Your possibly going to find that in more recent pages.
