Wait 36 days before linking out from a new PBN?

Why is it specifically 36 days ? If it was really so, people will abuse it and then raise the number of days.

Why is it specifically 36 days ? If it was really so, people will abuse it and then raise the number of days.

That was the number of days from the case study (scroll up a few posts to see the link to the case study). That case study was performed in 2017. I don't think people should really focus so much on the exact days which was 36 days in that case study. However, back in 2017, it may have been prudent to wait one or two months before linking out from a newly setup PBN, as that case study demonstrated.

Anyways, Google may have lengthened the time since 2017, this is what I want to know. Perhaps now in 2021, you should be waiting 3 months before linking out because Google has changed their algorithm again. I want to see what other people's experience are in 2021.

I think Google can just as easily check when the auctioned domain was setup (ie. change of registars, change of nameservers, change of owners, new website structure, or other footprints Google uses

Google is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar. They receive all the domain registration data automatically. When anyone changes a domain name anywhere on the Internet, they get an instant signal.

If you read the article, 36 days is from the case study and testing. The author of the article did the hard work and setup a testing scenario. If your testing comes up with a different number of days, then feel free to post your testing and case study so we can analyze it. Mind you, this is back in 2017 and Google may have changed the time to something longer than 36 days since then.

Unfortunately the link was not working in your first post and it was more fun to joke around than Google it.

For that particular case study, it was 36 days, and the case study was from 2017. I don't think it's an exact number of days either. However, I would guess that perhaps Google will reduce the link juice coming out from an auctioned domain that Google perceives to have changed ownership, if the link is posted relatively too soon (ie. if the link is posted on the same day the domain changes ownership - that is way too soon and is a huge footprint).

I know 36 days is an arbitrary number, but perhaps back in 2017, it would have been prudent to wait one month before linking out from a newly setup PBN. It's 2021 and I am wondering if people are discovering that linking out one month after a newly setup PBN is setup is too short of a time period and that you should wait longer - perhaps people should wait 3 months these days because Google has increased the "sandbox" period for links coming out of a newly setup PBN?

You are right, a lot has changed since 2017 and a lot has remained the same. In 2017 I always left my expired PBN domains 3 months to age before linking out from them. I do the same today.

The real point of the article is that SEO takes time, if we want to game Google we need to make it look as natural as we can. Building a domain out and making it look like a real domain over a period of time is more natural than whacking up a page and linking out on day 1.

Is 36 the exact number of days you should wait? Yes, no, maybe, who knows. Apply common sense and you are usually fine.

Before linking to your site test pbn to some random site on page 3-5 and wait to see what will happened...
