@deathshadowJun 16.2014 — #That would all depend on how well written the old site is, how fresh it's content is, how many backlinks it has -- as compared to how well written the content for the new site is, if people are willing to link to it or share it on social media organically.
Older domains do tend to rank better as a matter of 'trust' by the search engines -- but if you have well written content marked up semantically, with natural backlinks from relevant sites and social media shares, you'll do fine.
It is a factor, but if you can outdo them on all the other factors, sure, you can probably catch up to them.
@danieljohnsJun 16.2014 — #Domain age really matters but this can be happen that a 1 or 2 year old domain site has a pr higher than that of the 10 year old domain. Actually for understanding this concept one must be aware of the page ranking factors. It all depends upon the credibility and reputation.
@kiwistechJun 16.2014 — #Yes it can but it depends for example it depends on your website's authority and trust level as well, because older domain are more trustworthy domain as compare to new domains. But if you have reasonable amount of links and people are talking about you then you have more chances you can come up.
