Starting Out Fresh?

Hey guys, so I created my channel back in summer of 2014. I had to go to school for that first year so I kind of dropped off doing the channel. I am now back about a year later and have been going strong content-wise, but I have a question.

Does the fact that my channel is a year old affect my search rankings or anything of the sort? Would starting out fresh be better? I really don't want to restart my channel as I am really getting into the groove of things. But if that is a major hinderance I might have to. Do you guys know anything about this kind of stuff?

Thanks much!
 
As long as your SEO is good I don't think channel age matters, but if it did I think it would be in favor of the older channel so I would stick with the one you have now.
 
I know how you feel, I've had my channel for over two years now but with work, university and life, it's been so hard to maintain any kind of content output. Channel age won't affect your growth or search rankings though, so don't delete it I say.
 
My channel was 7 years old before I started uploading any regular content to it. My first videos were back when I was working overseas and wanted to keep in touch with family, so don't worry about having to start fresh. Besides, starting with a few subscribers already in place can help more than hinder.
 
I'd personally stick with the older channel - any previous views or searches you've acquired in that time will add up and help. It's a lot easier than starting afresh.
All the best with it!
