Websites which appear today in most cases made more professional and they are more interesting than dinosaur websites which appeared more than 10 years ago. Google understand that it is hard to compete with site which already has 100 000 backlinks even if your new website way better.

Today Google doesn’t really care how many links you have and how many high pagerank sites link yours. Google cares how quality your backlinks are. It gives more opportunity to new ideas.

Google will place your site in right niche right away to send you targeted traffic. In this case you help Google more to improve and they like it!
