Trust is key to human relationships. The same rule applies in the online world. It doesn't matter if you want to sell online or have a blog.

Newsjacking - stealing SEO traffic
Why is it so difficult to rank well with a new website?
Google also uses the concept of trust to generate the journalist emails ranking of web pages in its search engine. The longer a site has been indexed without having spammed, the better its chances of ranking well. The age of incoming links to websites is also a very important criterion. Google considers that a site that has been indexed for a long time can be trusted more than a new website.
I don't have the exact data, but if we take the websites of elmundo.es and elpais.com as an example, they have been online for around 12-16 years. In "offline" years this can be considered as a century. Both the number of links and their age mean that these media are considered "authorities" by Google. If you receive a link from one of these digital newspapers you can assume that your own reputation will be influenced in such a way that Google will give you more credibility and better positions in the future.
A new blog therefore has a very difficult time competing in terms of positioning with these online media. Guerrilla marketing tactics must be applied on the web 2.0 to succeed:
