[FEEDBACK] Looking for feedback/criticism/suggestions on my PBN setup

[lucius15]

I'm just setting up our PBN dashboard to scale and wanted to get your honest thoughts :

1. We buy aged domains only (semrush backlink scores on some are quite low), no real criteria variables as of now.

2. We setup template blog sites (hp, blog section, posts, post tags, authors, contact, about us, policy, t&cs, sitemap). Each blog is a different template

3. Each site has a different IP

4. We pull RSS feeds from various blog websites, generate new blog content (5-10 pieces daily) using AI (each blog post is unique content). Our thought here is to show that these PBN sites are active.

5. All blog content is the same niche as money sites

6. PBN sites are in English, money site is in a different language and different target language.

7. Backlinks are placed on homepage, blog post pages and tag pages. But for blog post pages we've been able to setup a config where a certain backlink would only show on posts that are published between for example midnight and 4am. The goal here was to have a bit of diversity so that each blog post doesn't have the same number of OBL.

8. Each PBN site posts between 5-10 posts a day at random hours and is assigned 3 random tags (niche related) and a random author on that respective PBN site

9. Backlinks are placed in the side bar of tag pages and blog post pages (We've found it difficult to place them in-content but are looking for a solution if it's really that important). We've tried to give a bit of context, the links are placed in sections, for example : Recommended games, Recommended resources, Recommended tools.

10. PBN sites have 10-15 unique OBL but are placed on many pages (tag, posts), meaning a PBN site actually has a growing number of OBL that grows daily as the PBN publishes content

11. We've applied structured data where possible : NewsArticle, Breadcrumbs, Authors - As a step towards making the PBN sites look as natural as possible but also help on indexing.

12. We do not link PBN sites to each other. Again, open to suggestions here.

With this self-made dashboard we're able to spin up a PBN site in 15mins, publish daily content on all of them at scale. A big drawdown that we are facing now is that the content generated for the blog posts doesn't contain contextual links, headings and images.

Something that I see in your previous answers is that you don't put too much importance on the PBN sites publishing content, whereas we have put quite a bit of effort to make sure each PBN can publish content 5-10 times a day.

Open to criticism, feedback and suggestions!

Backlinks are placed in the side bar of tag pages and blog post pages (We've found it difficult to place them in-content but are looking for a solution if it's really that important).

It'll be more worthwhile if you can get your links into the actual articles than just dumping them in the sidebar. If your content generator doesn't do this for you, there are a few approaches you could take, as it seems you have programmers at your disposal:
1) Find a 'root' keyword (such as 'loans') and find that keyword in your article, then replace that with the keyword you're wanting for the link (such as 'bad credit loans in Montana'), wrapping the link around this newly inserted text.
2) Similar to 1, find the root keyword and expand the search to the next few words on either side of it (such as 'what type of loans are best'), and wrap your link around this text.
3) Just take a random phrase of 4-5 words from the article and use it as the link anchor.

#1 will disrupt the flow of the article slightly, but this is a PBN so who cares.

Also, how many times are you linking to each money site from each PBN? If it's more than once I'd cut that down for starters.

Hey @Steptoe thanks for your answer.

1) Yes this is doable but the logic behind which money site is linked to for each keyword becomes quite complicated
2) This is a good idea, if we find a scalable solution for 1)
3) Could also do this

We're linking several times to each money site but have options to :
1. Only publish that OBL on homepage
2. Only publish that OBL on articles published between certains hours of the day
2. Only publish that OBL on tag pages

To begin with we will only be publishing OBLs on the homepage of each PBN site.

The accepted wisdom with PBNs is to link only once to your money site. So you'll be forging your own path here - I wish you luck.

To begin with we will only be publishing OBLs on the homepage of each PBN site.

I'd say that would be the optimal use.

2. Only publish that OBL on articles published between certains hours of the day

Why are you only publishing between certian hours of the day?
