Outreach guest posts vs. really good PBN?

[soa0611]

Can anybody explain why guestposts on real sites are better than blogposts on good private pbn , on domains with equal metrics.

i mean - do Google see them that they are on real sites and rank your site better?
is it critical difference?

most likely size & 'traffic' the thing pumps hence its an authority website

Because, PBN is Network owned by the same Person.
But, Guest blogs are not owned by the same.
Reason number 1 is Foot Print, 2 is real sites & the 3 is Quality

Because it is hard to do gain quality guestposts, so Google give more weight on guestposts backlink. PBN is an easy way to give backlinks to your site as long as Google not trace it.

You get a link from a strong and niche relevant site. If you were to acquire PBN domain with same strength, it would cost you, in many cases, high 5 figures. This way you get a link from it for a couple hundred.

Real traffic is of course another huge bonus.

 

[LinkHeros]

Strong PBN links will do more for your site than a guest post that is on a newly created page with no authority. PBN links that are placed on the homepage will have instant authority.

 

[Initial Effort]

One reason is because high quality guest blogs with established authority looks more natural in they eyes of google. You become a part of an established community who shares your message. If you'll be able to get a your post in a high authority site, the it can build your reputation.

Niche related PBN blog post is good.There is minimum chance of footprints only

There is no such thing as "very good PBNs"

 

[David Social]

As all said Guest post on niche relevant site will help you to boost rank plus it will be an added benefit if you get link from more organic traffic sites

Well it's pretty self explanatory. A link on a site built for the sole purpose of selling links, with zero real traffic, countless footprints and fuck knows what else.. vs a link on a real site in your niche, with real traffic and a big following, no worries about footprints and solid metrics you know haven't been manipulated for the sole purpose of selling links.

It's simple really..

 

[tyvm-yw_]

precisely

 

[fayaz]

On authority websites have a more than 10k real organic traffic then your websites will be rank soon as soon possible

 

[Panther28]

Any other answer except "fuck knows" is a guess

 

[MisticFella]

Authority is everything. A real blog post is worth so much more than a PBN post.

Agreed 110%. Weaseling legitimate links via outreach is the way the big boys play the game in SEO these days. Sure, a few PBNs you build for some key longtails are a nice extra, but the real juice lays with sites that have strong traffic and a real audience.

If its same metrics then going for PBN is better as the guest blog is likely not as authoritative as it should be.

 

[Archard]

Leaving the foot print parts and etc behind, there is another great reason why guest posting on real blogs is better.
Consider you buy a guest post from a blogger, we will name him X. Let's say he will do the writing as most of the time they want to be in control of the content.
Let's presume that for say... a $50 fee he will write a pretty decent article, that is engaging for his traffic.
Now, until this part, you can get these things from a PBN also.
But from our X blogger, considering he wrote a nice piece of content, he will most probably start getting linked by others in his niche, generating more backlinks to that said article which will give you even more power besides his own metrics. That article has all the chances of becoming that link that many will post on forums and etc for information, with your backlink in it forever.

From that standpoint, there is no comparing with the PBN where you get your article, get your backlink and thats it.
This is how I view it at least. Of course a few PBN link won't hurt and its good for mixing sources, if the pbn owner is a good one.

then why you're still buying them? isn't that easier to do email outreach for guest post? although the price is expensive.

...that depends on what links you want and who you buy them from. Some links (from big sites) aren't easy to get by yourself. For those you almost need an inside man. Those I buy. I also buy the "low-end" ones, as I'd rather spend an extra $20 then jump through hoops myself. For small niche you have to outreach yourself though, sometimes. I use a mix of BHW sellers, Fiverr sellers (for cheap ones), and bribing blog owners.
