PBN ~ Ahrefs ~ Referring Domains ~ Question

[kbreezy]

When looking for a PBN on the Referring domain Section What do you look for?

DR	Ahrefs rank	Referring domains (********)	Linked domains (********)	Organic traffic	Links to target	Do Follow		First seen

I understand some may look at DR

What else do you look for?

 

[Mr Positive]

Backlinks and these should be blocked by ahrefs by the seller

Forget DR and other in house invented metrics. Look for:

- ref. domains

- anchor text

- 301 redirects (penalties can pass via 301 redirects)

- wayback machine

First you must use DR/TF/DA to screen for high potential domains.
After the first screen, you must use the tools you used the metric from, to figure out how they calculated that number and to see, from your own perspective if it's a legit calculation or not.
But before using tools, check the archive of that page to see if they were actually legit in terms of content.

Also check for the pages linked to from those referring domains. Ensure that the RDs are pointing to pages and not homepage. Avoid domains which are linking too many of the RDs to homepage.

You are looking for a link coming from homepage.

Alas, these are usually blocked so you cannot really see anything.
