Questions about PBN sites

[rayovacplus]

Hello, I created about 15 pbn sites. These sites are old fallen domains. all my pbn sites were indexed in a week. But I have some questions.

1. Are there any Google penalties from these sites? How can I find out or inquire about it?
2. If there is a penalty pbn site, if I give a link to my money site, will the money be penalized on my site?
3. What values should I check before registering a new pbn site domain? example: PA DA Trust rank etc.?

Thank you.

fallen domains

Fallen but now resurrected!

1. Are there any Google penalties from these sites? How can I find out or inquire about it?

There can be but since they indexed so fast chance is small.

Observe how they act in the SEPRs in the coming weeks.

Are they ranking for their own domain name?

2. If there is a penalty pbn site, if I give a link to my money site, will the money be penalized on my site?

What will happen is that rankings will not move at all or there will be downward trend on the page you target.

3. What values should I check before registering a new pbn site domain? example: PA DA Trust rank etc.?

You can check the usual but most important one is referring domain number and clean link profile. Profile should be diverse and strong.

Thanks for your answer. Does this moz spam score matter? Because my PBN domains show a spam score between 10% and 50% on average. Or is the MOZ spam score not a very important thing?

I personally pay very little attention to it.

I have some beast with 80% spam scores that are pushing ranks like crazy.

Spam is usually ignored by engines anyway.

@tiiberius here is like a king of pbn's. So I'd pay attention to his answers.
And like him, I completely ignore spam score and concentrate on the link profile.

You should have checked before getting these domains.

Hello @rayovacplus

1. A quick and easy to follow triple check:

https://smallseotools.com/google-index-checker/https://web.archive.org/https://securitytrails.com/dns-trails
First check if domain is currently indexed (even if doesn't have any content) with Google (site:url) or with any tool like free SmallSeo script
Double check history of domain use with Web Archive just to discard if was prevously usend in a PBN or other SPAM purposes.
Finally confirm on SecurityTrails the DNS history; most of PBNs owners block bots from Archive but you still can discover if the domains hosted a legit website previously...

Simply look out DNS history for any vestiges of a cheap $1 or $2 dollar host. In this space hostings used mostly for private blog networks are easily recognizable.

2. If you decide to use a domain penalized or prevously used for BH SEO you will simply take the risk. It's up to you if you wanna play safe or not.

3. At least 10 DA 10 PA 15 TF 10 CF if just those metrics are being considered. Go for same niche domains and third party metrics will be a little irrelevant once you see it working.


Best Regards,
Randall F

Make sure the blog has a clean backlink profile and a decent number of referring domains.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to check for penalties will vary depending on the individual site in question. However, some methods you may want to consider include using Google Search Console to check for manual actions, checking backlink profiles for unnatural patterns, and using a tool like Moz's Link Explorer to check for toxic links.

If a PBN site is penalized, it is possible that the penalty could extend to the money site if it is found to be linked to the PBN site. However, this is not always the case, and it really depends on the nature of the penalty and the strength of the link between the two sites.

When registering a new PBN domain, some values you may want to consider checking include the Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) from Moz, the Trust Flow (TF) and Citation Flow (CF) from Majestic, and the Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR).

I would like to know if there is a tutorial on setting up and distributing PBN links and creating Servers for PBNs correctly.

Search the forum and check stickied threads. Plenty of knowledge right here.
