Keep in mind that the age of the domain is a factor in seo rankings. While it is very possible to achieve good rankings with a newer domain it is widely accepted in the seo community that older domains have better search engine rankings than newer domains. This is due to the huge number of 'spammy' websites that are launched each day. Google needs to trust your site before it will start showing up in search result pages. If you are starting out with a newer domain be sure to get good inbound links from trustworthy sites so Google can know that your site is worth indexing.
