P(ublic)BN's Suck, If you really want to rank, use P(rivate)BN's
Public networks are ideal for churn and burn. For long term sites, private networks are preferable.

I have some sites in my own network, but it isn't massive enough or quick enough to rank as high and fast as I needed to in order to make money this year. I think I will slowly start moving toward depending upon my own network... BUT the short term bang/dollar of public networks is enticing. For $200 I can jump 5-10 spots in a profitable keyword in 3 weeks time. If I built my own to do that same jump it would take 2-3 months and cost me probably $400.
So I think buying links has it's place, but sellers should be more up front about how long they have hosting paid for. And if they are going to drop a site they should ethically at least inform those who have slots and ask them if they would like to chip in $2 each to keep it hosted another 2 years.

It takes me about 2 weeks of freetime to design, code, and wrote content for one good site. Buying the domain usually costs me around $25, the hosting is like $25/year. So $50 for first year and then $25/year after that. The price is not the issue for me, it's that I'm too busy to build more than one site a month. I typically make them about 30 pages in size with 30 articles/content of 500+ words. The big problem being that I had a site that I needed to rank well in less than 3 months, and I figured that 300 crappy links would do that job faster/better than 3 really nice links. But now that it is ranking well I realize that buying these links is NOT a good long-term plan. Although I may continue to buy PBN links to aim at my T1's as I build them.
Why would you do that for pbn ? Get domain and hosting, install wp, buy x2-3 3$ articles, throw in some niche relates YT videos some pictures and those articles, link to money site ??? Why would you need to make this so complicated.
I suppose that's a good question. I suppose it is because I figured that I needed ultra high quality in order to be an authority site eventually. Do you think that a quick site with $3 articles and yt videos could eventually become high authority too?
