I once purchased quite an old premium .COM domain name. It didn't have any content for several years. I created a prelaunch page with a basic subscribe form and the website immediately showed up #1 in Google Search. It consistently outcompetes everyone, including companies' websites that have very similar company name and been around for a few years. I'm not a SEO expert by any means, but I'm confident that the domain name still does matter. There must be something about the domain name age, its length and TLDs.
