Keep on getting destroyed by google, any suggestions?

[nerkabtc]

I have been on my blogging journey for almost 5 months now, and during that time, some of the best sites have been destroyed.






I publish at least 5 quality blogs daily and order quality Private Blog Networks (PBNs) on the most successful blogs each month (50 initially, increasing by 25% each month). The domains are between 30-120 days old and have a rating of 10-20 DA/PA. Spam score on each failed domain 0-1%. From 350 - 700 pages indexed on each domain.
So, what's going on?

AI content? if yes , then that's the problem I think or it can be from PBNs?

looks like your quality pbn isn't as quality as you think.

What is the source of this PBN?

I have no idea how someone would post 5 articles daily and have quality control, unless you have a big team of writers as well as a dedicated editor or if you are doing this fulltime. I have 7 writers, and I post 10 - 14 articles a week. I do the editing as well, and it takes the life out of me. Keyword research + interlinking + guiding the writers to get everything right. From what I can tell, your content is probably low tier.

Ideally, I would pad my link profile with some PBNs but mix them in with legitimate links. If all your links are PBN links then that is not the best strateg imo. But it is too early for your site to get a link penalty. I would stop ordering the PBN links. What are you paying for them btw? how do you know the links are high quality? are they niche relevant?

Correct I do not work alone. Overall 3 content editors, 1 designer. However 100% of writing is outsourced with AI writing/rewriting tools. Pbns look clean with no spam score, some are niche relevant some are not.



If there are 60 articles written and they all rank in the top 100, I will get 60-120 PBNs for that website total (one or two pbns per each article)

Is there something wrong with my strategy?

You should consider getting your website analyzed properly by an seo expert on blackhatworld forum.

Pay for ads and forget blogging.

I second this because I do 7 per week and have to do the keyword research as well as interlinking and guiding the writers and it's the same for me, takes the life out of me. I'm not sure how he can put out so many articles per day lol.

Wait for Google getting destroyed soon.

Big G destroyed my sites as well, Bing welcomed me but there is not much traffic from Bing, might change tho.

Could still not be as a result of the PBNs. Backlinks are not always the reason for loss in traffic.

Different kinds of Google updates impacts websites differently.

Could still be content, lots of websites recorded loss of traffic the past week as a result of a rumored update that wasn't publicized.

There seems to be something wrong with your strategy in my opinion.

100% of articles be written and by maybe rewritten by AI is not healthy.

The follow and nofollow ratio of your backlinks from this screenshot is actually a problem. 98% of links as no follow is not healthy. It looks too unnatural.

And finally you said you buy 60-120 PBN links for each 60 posts that rank in the top 100. Are you sure these PBNs are not cheap low quality PBNs? Because if majority of the 700+ links are PBNs, your budget would really need to be very high to afford quality PBNs.

Finally, I usually don't recommend you start sending links to pages that are in the top 100. A page that's in the top 50 may never make it to top 10, because your site might be severlt weak.

Allow them to gain grounds naturally before you start sending links. I made this same mistake you're making now, several years ago.

Your posts should be able to get closer to page 1 before you think about links, if it doesn't get closer naturally on its own, you probably are not strong enough to rank for the keyword and would end up spending too much on links fighting a lost battle.

Great insights, I have few questions
1. Linking PBNs to new articles, even if they are at position 50 would give some sort of authority to article which would boost domain authority too, right?
2. You are probably right, spending 2-4$ per PBN link is probably no the best strategy, if you could give me a link what determines STRONG PBN and the average price for those would be wonderful.
3. We generate content with AI, then go through for quality checks, run it through grammarly, add all possible content that there is to the theme (long tail keywords from semrush, google search questions, generic How, Is, When, What in the FAQ for the main keyword) + keyword research, adding up to 10 additional keywords to the blog. How can all this go wrong?
