Just read through a lot of bullshit on this thread. People recommending you to start your own network is like people recommending you to buy a car when you only need it for a ride for few days of the year. Unless you are planning to really drive it everyday for 5 years ahead then there's absolutely no plan in doing it.
Building an effective private blog network
will cost you more than $10k to setup and will leave you with running costs of $10,000 - $15,000 per year. And that's just for 200-300 sites...of which you will have 50-80 sites with PR2+. Unless you have the capacity to utilize this investment, there's no point in going through all the headaches.
Not mentioning the time of setting up, configuring, buing domains etc and maintaining the sites.
I own a network of this size (which I believe is small-to-medium) and I do offer link building solutions in the form of packages. There are quite a few people that do on BHW and private blog networks are no mystery or whatsoever.
The only difference is that you are not likely to get a report ..on the blogs where your posts will be submitted.
This makes it a bit subjective and hard to understand what you are paying for. I have tested few networks and even built a special tool that analyses link report to see what their quality is and I often found out that most PBN owners are lying about the number of class-c IPs. (the tool is calle
linkscore)
The most important thing when choosing the private blog network where you will be buying packages is to find one that actually does no more than 2-3 sites per class-C ip. This is the biggest expense from a PBN owner's perspective.
If you are interested in getting a package on my network pm me.
