a). HOMEPAGE PBN to HOMEPAGE
b). HOMEPAGE PBN to INNERPAGE 1-2-3
c). INNERPAGE PBN to INNERPAGE 1-2-3
d). INNERPAGE PBN to HOMEPAGE
e). HOMEPAGE PBN to HOMEPAGE 1-2-3

NB: 1-2-3 is different of url or domain.

And how much the max OBL would be good on 1 PBN ?

Hello!
how about the backlink speed? how many links to you post per week or per month to a new site?
here I have run a litle test on a new domain, I have a small pbn of around 8 sites, all on diferent ip and most of them have traffic,
these are the links I have made so far,
DOMAIN:

KEYWORD I AM AFTER:

so far I am at position 80,
this is what the competition looks like,

do you think I should keep making links or wait and see?

Happy new year to all!
thanks!

Best ever criteria to price domains.
Thanks.

It depends on your budget but the formula is quite simple - the more they cost, the better they are. At least usually.

How much could such a domain and where would you suggest to buy it?
Maybe you could suggest any free tool to check the quality of domain automatically? I created a bot that finds thousands of expired domains but most of them are useless. I am looking a good way to check the quality automatically

Buy as expensive domains as you can afford and where you buy it does not matter. I usually research ~10 markets and buy where the price is the cheapest.
You can use ahrefs free tool, but I'm afraid there is no automation in this as the backlinks are most important thing to domains and you can't research that automatically.

Think the user above is asking this but do you use scraped domains or auctioned domains?

Both. I'm not looking what kind that domain is but if it's clean and what history + backlinks it has.

How many money site links can you use a PBN for?

Unlimited? Imagine that PBN links as a normal blog or website. You can link as many times as possible but keep 1 domain per one PBN rule.

Same question!!
Until now, on my pbn I used one site linking to one moneysite only, but I was thinking to try to link 2 money sites from every PBN site.
In this way I can double the pbn links for free .
Good or bad idea?
Thanks

It's completely normal, of course the power will be less, but it's natural and even I'm doing it.

Thanks for doing the AMA, some questions if you don't mind.

1. Where do you typically find and buy your domains?
2. What is your strategy when linking to your money sites from PBNs? Do you do homepage links or from pages, any ratio you try to follow?
3. Would you try and hide your PBN if you only link to your own websites?
4. How much do you spend on average for each website to get it up, besides the cost of the domain?

1. I'm finding them with agres and I'm buying them at completely random places where there is the cheapest price.
2. I'm mostly linking like I would do in my money sites, completely natural, so in the articles mostly. Later they are falling off the homepage as it's also natural.
3. No, I'm not doing anything I wouldn't do to my money site so
4. ~20usd max.

How much do you spend per domain for content on a PBN?

Who do you use for hosting?
Where do you find/ how do you buy your domains?
Do web 2.0's work?

I'm hosting with multiple cheap VPS's who have proxy scripts where each domain has it's on IP but some of them are on the same hosting.

I answered this question above.

No idea, I'm not working with 2.0 as I think they are waste of time.

What type of text do you use for your PBNs? Spun text or handwritten original content?

For filler content I'm using HQ spun, but for money links handwritten.

What the best linking method for got a good link juice on PBN ?

a). HOMEPAGE PBN to HOMEPAGE
b). HOMEPAGE PBN to INNERPAGE 1-2-3
c). INNERPAGE PBN to INNERPAGE 1-2-3
d). INNERPAGE PBN to HOMEPAGE
e). HOMEPAGE PBN to HOMEPAGE 1-2-3
f). INNERPAGE PBN to HOMEPAGE 1-2-3

NB: 1-2-3 is different of url or domain.

And how much the max OBL would be good on 1 PBN ?

I think it would be normal to link from an article who later falls in inner pages. AS nature intended.

OBL I'm keeping under 20, but in my experience I have not seen any difference between 10 OBL and 70 OBL

Do you use domains other than .com, .net, and .org ?

Yes, I'm using also country domain TLd' etc.

How much money do you typically spend per site?

With domain 300+

Possible to provide a walkthrough on your process when you take up a new project?

Maybe If I'll have more time

I want to buy 5 domains from GoDaddy auctions. I want to keep all registrar separate. How can i register 5 different domains with a different registrar?

or i should keep all domains on godaddy? is it a footprint?

Thanks in Advance

Keep all domains on godaddy, it's only a footprint in these SEO "gurus" minds. Google does not even look at registars and even if they would, 70% of websites are registered on Namecheap, I think that's insane to think it as a footprint.

Speed is not that important as you don't want to rank your PBN that much anyway.
I'm posting at least 1 article per 2 weeks but when you get more than 100 PBN's it's hard to post more than 1 article per month on them.

Sure, keep velocity and keep building till you hit top 1!

1 link from pbn main page to moneysite. <<< Is this the most appropriate?

I have entered two links on the main page so far, one for each article...

 

[hwaback]

And when you create a pbn with an expired domain, what links do you need to put on it to regain power?
Please reply. Thank you.

 

[hwaback]

I have another question.
Is it dangerous to redirect all the subdirectories to the homepage?

 

[wkcalvin]

is PBN must use aged domain?

New domain is meaningless for PBN?

 

[rafark]

Terrible idea. If you're pointing to the same sites on each pbn site you're creating a huge footprint.

 

[Hayden Russell]

How do you explain to clients that you are using PBNs? How do you charge them for the ongoing hosting?

 

[Verdy Nordsten]

how do u setup vps with so many ip for you pbn ?
my methode is using cdn cloudfare using 1 vps to have so many different IP on each domain

 

[Fudnut]

If you have a large number of sites, I'd recommend using MainWP to manage them. It's free to use, and makes it a breeze to change themes/plugins and to keep sites updated and backed up. There's also a host of addons, free & paid, but a monthly sub for all paid addons is less than $20. I've used it for the past 4 years managing up to 700+ domains and it's never faltered.

There's a spin addon that uses your spinners API, and a posting module for drip feeding. It's site grouping capabilities make it ideal for assigning different sites to specific niches.

So yeah, check it out.

 

[philsfog]

in your opinion/experience how much time you need to wait before the power of pbns kicks in? i know it depends on the competition, i just want to know rough estimate

 

[ForPBN]

1 link from pbn main page to moneysite. <<< Is this the most appropriate?

Don't make the same footprint from most of the pages, it's better to use 50% links to one site and 50% to other.

And when you create a pbn with an expired domain, what links do you need to put on it to regain power?
Please reply. Thank you.

None. Just make it a live website, put some content and wait for it to index.

I have another question.
Is it dangerous to redirect all the subdirectories to the homepage?

Don't make any redirects on PBN's, that's a huge footprint

is PBN must use aged domain?

New domain is meaningless for PBN?

Yes, you need PBN's with goog links, the new domain will be nothing.

How do you explain to clients that you are using PBNs? How do you charge them for the ongoing hosting?

I'm just telling them that we use safe methods to get to the top 3 serps. Usually I ask them to provide hosting if not I'm charging them my hosting price per month x5.

how do u setup vps with so many ip for you pbn ?
my methode is using cdn cloudfare using 1 vps to have so many different IP on each domain

I don't use cloudflare and suggest you to not use it as well. I'm using reverse proxy script on my vps, custom made. I have bought some dedicated IP' and signed them to my pbns.

I wouldn't want to put all my eggs in one basket

For me it was 1 month. After 2-3 months you can see full power!

Hi, thank you for your AMA!

Do you use Google Webmaster Tools for your most expensive domains? If yes, how do you handle it (multi account management, messages from search console...)?
