Mature domain or use new domain?

Hi.

Some time ago it was good to register a new domain, put some content on it and let it mature. Now it seems that new domains with new content can rank very fast and good.

Imagine you have the idea of a new project, but you know that you will get the time to really start with it in 10-12 month. Would you register the domain now and tell Google that its there? Or would you wait till you can finish the project and use the newbie-bonus then?

Well to wait and register it then would be a great risk as the domain may be taken by then or it is a domain that is so far out there it will nver be registered.

I would register the domain put up a comming soon page add robots.txt to disallow all and begin adding pages as you go. After the page is tested ready and all allow the folder to be spidered this way it isn't a site that just appears with a bunch of pages, content and it gets thrown in a filter.

Best to add the site as you go and allow a spidering as you proceed this is a natural method of a site's growth...

Plus it gives you the chance of gathering good links as it ages as well

Thanks for your reply. But wouldn't the page start aging with only a "this page is under constuction" side much earlier in the development-process? I know that you can put much more links per time on an "old" page then a new one, but I don't know if the newbie-bonus will have a better effect.
