Does the age of a domain affect your rankings? I have read people saying that domain age increases your ranking. Is this just myth or is it real? I mean without external SEO like backlinks, will a domain rise to the top with age?

yes it affects page rank. domain age only determines the period of the domain and also the site. it is considered as one of the important factor in PR. to know the age of your domain there are many sites available. also you can know the age of the domain from who is tool. you domain registry date will be displayed while checking it. with the help of that you can determine the age of the domain. i checked my domain age from WhoisXY.com

old domain can get better SE rank than new domain.

Domain age is a important factor which is consider while providing ranking.More older the domain age more preferences given by the Google to that domain.

Its true that Google gives preference to old age while ranking But ranking on top position is also not possible. There are other factors like backlinks , content etc which matters.

It's one factor (from the many 200 or even more). If you search google for top keywords will usually see in top 10 domains that are 5-7 years old.
