With a decent PBN you shouldn't be able to tell the difference. But covering a wide range of niches, having minimal customized design elements, and little to no traffic metrics will usually out a site as being part of a PBN (with the 'P' possibly standing for 'poor' in this instance).

By comparing with normal links, PBN links have very low traffic and site metrices and also have few posts, often with low quality content.

You may determine whether a link is a PBN or an authority by utilizing the metrics and traffic of the website. Authority websites have a metrics and traffic that are good and decent, whereas PBN have a no traffic at all.

PBN links may have low quality and low traffic and they might use same anchor text.
Natural links are with good traffic which comes from reputable sites with high quality content

PBN links often display artificial patterns and lack contextual relevance, whereas legitimate links, like those from guest posts or PR, originate from diverse, reputable sources with relevant content.

PBN links are of generally low quality backlinks, low traffic and does not meet the relevancy of the topic.
On the other hand Normal links is totally opposite of PBN links they have high quality backlinks, higher traffic and content is relevant to the audience.

If you found them easily, you probably don't want to. And use multi-quote in the future to avoid infractions.

To spot PBN links, examine the domain, content quality, and link context. Unnatural link patterns, similar site designs, and Whois details may indicate PBNs. Tools like Moz or Ahrefs can aid in the analysis.

If that is the case, it is worth checking their content. You can copy and paste paragraphs into Google and see if more than one result shows up. If those websites are hosted on the same servers, use the same design and even publish the same content, you can be sure that you have encountered a PBN.
