It depends on the percentage of your domains using Cloudflare. I wouldn't add all domains under Cloudflare. Make sure you use registrar nameservers as well and some private nameservers.
Got it. Then if there's 4 free dns services, let's say I have around 40 PBN, so I must use each free DNS services for 10 PBN? So it will balance? Or mix some with "ns1.domainname.com" from Godaddy too? Thank you so much for serve a noob like me sir. Regards

Just mix your nameservers and you are good to go. There is no exact %. of nameservers that you must to use. Just mix it up and everything should be just fine.
 
Can you share some insight on the effects of getting a PBN deindexed?

Are the sites that were linked to exposed to an algorithmic penalty? If so, how long might such a penalty last?
 
Perfect. You can always contact our customer service when you have other hosting related questions. :)

Hello sir, I want to ask about maximum PBN on 1 account at your hosting. is there a maximum amount for each account to avoid unwanted things? Or just use 1 account for everything? Regards

Hello Mr @alexthepbndude I want to ask again about anchor.
I have read that one PBN is attempted to give maximum anchor to 5 domains, is that true? If true, what if :
- My PBN have 5 articles inside, what if that 5 articles, have 5 different anchors text to 1 money site (index), is it count as anchor to 1 domain?

Our service was built to be super easy to use. This means 1 account, 1 network, 1 hosting account and as many IPs from different locations and domains as you want. There's no need to make things overly complicated.

Ah oke. Just want to make sure. Hehe. Thank you for your information
 
Would you be able to share best way to pick PBN sites? Is it via auction or any other method. I am new to this, so I am trying to find out how to find these gems first....thank you
 
I am just making my own PBNs, here some questions for you:
1) Where do you buy aged domains as you don't like expired domains?
2) What makes a good aged domain?
3) Say, you PBN site has 5 posts, will you link from all the 5 posts to your money site? Or only one posts.
Thank you very much.
 
@alexthepbndude so what you doing to rank a site if SEO is dead.

@nadir rana,

First of all, SEO is not dead lol

Second of all, there are usually a couple of things that can go wrong and your site may end up not ranking.

1. When dealing with a new domain, it can be too early, or you may not have enough links.
2. If you're dealing with a site that's been alive for a while, you can have a ton of de-indexed links.
3. You can have a site with a ton of on-page technical errors that can be fixed, improved, optimized.
4. Google may not like your site having a bunch of low quality, weak links and...
5. No relevant links whatsoever, or...
6. Aggressive anchor text, or...
7. All of the above.

Now there is a fix for every single one of them. You have to be a little bit technical and geeky about it, but you do it right, you can bring your site back to life and rank it.

@Leiria

Replying to your first question:

Getting a PBN de-indexed can be troublesome for the ranking of your money site if your sole strategy for ranking it in the first place was PBNs alone. On the other hand, if you managed to build the foundation of your site by using quality links from other sources first, and focusing on PBNs later on, then getting a few de-indexed due to either footprints or some other things that Google doesn't like won't get you in trouble, big time. Like, it can be fixed.

The important part is to identify those de-indexed PBNs and replace them with live links as soon as possible.

Usually people don't even notice since due to the link-echo or link-ghost effect which may contribute to keeping your URL or site ranking for 3-4 months easily even after a good portion of your PBN network has been wiped out.

So use scrapebox and a good list of proxies to check the health of your PBNs and make sure these are indexed at all times.

I would check once every couple of months.

Don't check them all at once too.

Replying to your 2nd question:

It's really hard to tell without knowing absolutely NOTHING about your site, project, niche, warning you got in Google Conole, your SEO strategy, so forth and so on. If you're keen for me to take a look send me a PM or ping me via Skype (Alex_PBNSolutions) and I'll check it out.

@Julian Putra,

These days we would keep PBNs super focused on one single topic. When you do that, when you optimize them correctly you are going to need way LESS links to rank and then you can build more unique PBN cluesters around different money sites.

In other words, we no longer use the same domain to link to multiple sites in different niches. We only create single-niche PBNs and may link once or twice to different sites in the same vertical.

Well optimized PBN sites built around a single topic can do wonders. It's not point in making them multi-niche PBNs and linking to a bunch of different sites. They lose their juice, they lose their power.

Keep 'em focused.

@JohnnyWOW,

As we're in the business of selling domains, our current method is built to process all the expiring/aftermarket domains in the market, every single day of the week. We're using custom software and a team of 7 employees. This is much different than the methodology you would need to find just a couple domains on your own.

To be honest, I don't have, at the moment, a particular method to hunt for 1 or 2 domains daily.

We're going to for them in bulk, by processing every single domain that's expiring on a daily basis and we're working with all those public lists available to be downloaded.

So we're talking hundreds of thounsands of domains weekly.

I may start a new thread and explain a good method of finding 1/2 domains for beginners, but I need to get into those shoes again and remember how it's done lol

Alex

I am just making my own PBNs, here some questions for you:
1) Where do you buy aged domains as you don't like expired domains?
2) What makes a good aged domain?

Thank you very much.

@SmartBoyZ,

1. There are really not so many places, mainly the 4-5 main domain auction marketplaces out there.

2. It really depends on your purpose and end ranking goal. I've personally seen people buying ex-PBNs and havin results with them, so it really depends on what you have in mind in the first place. Domains some people completely ignored are immediately snatched by others that have a DEFINITE PURPOSE for them.

3. I would avoid linking from every single post on my PBN. As mentioned above in a reply to @Julian Putra, we try to single-purpose and focus our PBNs on one single topic and avoid linking to multiple sites in different niches.

So use scrapebox and a good list of proxies to check the health of your PBNs and make sure these are indexed at all times.
Or just add them to keyword tracker (the root domain as keyword) and set alarms if rankings drop for 100+ places. It cost like $5 per month for 300 PBNs and once set require zero efforts - you get e-mail whenever a PBN of yours get hit.
 
I still didn't get it! Why PBNs are so powerful? I managed around 10+ websites of my clients and always get a backlink from Footer of those websites. Also, some of them are HIGH DA/PA websites with aged domains but I can definitely notice that PBNs are much more powerful than those genuine websites. Why is that so? Is it about link placement?

i am doing few tests on my own PBN, i think you hit on the head: it is link placement. footer links do not give much power. at least that has been in my experience. if these are your clients, i think you are better off to have an article about your services, post it on their site and give your self link that way. for example: www.clientxyz.com/marketingserviceandbenefits

their client visitors would not know about your site. you just need to give yourself an internal link from one of their own blogs so that you get your page indexed. also, the page needs to be included in the sitemap as well.

How about placing a link on the homepage, not on the footer? Btw, creating a blog post about marketing will be difficult since most of clients are in Health niches.

if you can get a link on the homepage that is not part of the footer, it will be a homerun!!

as for article, you can have www.clientxyz.com/impactofmarketingonhealthindustry

you are a service provider, i am sure it has an impact on any industry!!!
 
How much would a healthy 10-site PBN cost per year?
Renewal price for domain + hosting is about $30-35 per year. So you are looking for $350 upkeep cost for 10 websites PBN.
Building the PBNs if you are looking for half decent domains is from $50 if using expired (domain + build) to practically unlimited if you are looking for auctioned domains (at least $100 per domain).
