Nacho started a thread at Search Engine Watch Forums asking Does Age in URL transfer with 301?
In that thread he asks, if one has a URL path domain.com/old-category1-name.html and wants to move that 301 style to domain.com/new-category1-name.html "will the age recorded in the search engine's records for "old-category1-name.html" follow down to the "new-category1-name.html"?"
I do not believe the "age recorded" for either of those file names will affect anything. I believe it is the age of the domain name, domain.com - that will play a roll in the whole site's success or failure. What do I base this on? Some personal experience.

From what I've seen it certainly appears to me that any aging/delay penalties (read: sandbox) relate solely to the domain and not to the page. I've seen many new pages on established domains rank quite well rather quickly, whereas in similar circumstances on another domain they were subject to much longer delays. Just my two cents...
