How to Build Your OWN PBN - A Quick Guide for Newbies

Very helpful thread,I started to follow it when I did not have any idea about PBN,but this helped me so much.Amazing.
 
How do I fix this major noob mistake i did?

I'm in the beginning stages of building my PBN network. After picking up 20 domains, I registered them all under the exact same domain provider with the exact who is information (the registrar was go daddy). I tried transferring them to different providers but theirs a domain lock time limit which means the domain can not be transferred until 3 months is up. How do I fix this pickle I've put myself in lol
 
"Building your own PBN will take months until it reaches high authority and top quality". Not true. Just purchase strong enough domains and have a genuinely powerful set-up and bam.. your PBN is already mighty powerful. You don't need to wait months for it to become "high authority". Sure, the authority will increase over time if you maintain it correctly.. but PBNs will be strong from the moment you create it - should you do it properly.

If you're a complete beginner to PBNs and have no experience with them whatsoever - then you're most likely going to get ripped off with most of the PBN services on the market today. Why? Because you have little experience.. so you won't be able to tell if the service you just purchased was genuinely worth it or not. Don't purchase a PBN service and review it afterwards purely on rankings.

If you are absolutely new to PBNs then I do not recommend you buy a PBN service. Instead, improve and gather your knowledge on the topic. Threads like this and the ones from t0mmy are perfect ways to start out. There are so many resources on this forum alone.. but if that wasn't enough, start searching on Google/Youtube. There are literally so many PBN tutorials/guides around that you would find useful. When I first started, I had no idea how to find domains or create a long-lasting network. But you want to know what helped me? All the guides out there. I read and read until I had the knowledge needed to start experimenting.

Once you think you know what you're doing - go out there and purchase a few domains. You don't have to create a 100 site PBN on your first attempt. Purchase 5 domains. Register them on different registrars. Don't overthink it. The amount of people I've seen who overthink this step ("oh.. maybe I should register each domain on a different registrar and then have different fake WHOIS for them all and then bla bla").. no. Don't overthink it. Just be natural. Register 5 domains with a few registrars. It's OK to have multiple domains in a single registrar account. Make sure you don't go crazy though and start storing 100 domains in a single account because that's where the trouble starts. Again, just be sensible.

So now you have 5 domains registered. Sign up to a hosting service (lightningblitz has already explained this part). And also remember - by the time you're doing all this you should already have the knowledge from all the guides and tutorials you've read at the very beginning.. so finding the perfect hosting should not be a problem if you know what you're looking for. Install Wordpress (don't worry about other CMS for now - Wordpress is perfect for starting out).

Remove the default theme and now at this point - just COMPLETELY FORGET that you are trying to create a PBN site and start assuming that you are creating a GENUINE/LEGIT site for a new startup company. This means unique content/images/opt in forms/social media accounts/etc. The key to this step is to completely ignore the fact that this site is going into a PBN and start treating it as an official money site. You'll know if you did this step correctly because at the end you will either say:

1. wow this site looks terrible. i would never read/buy from/revisit this site again.

OR

2. daaaaayum. this site genuinely looks badass. i like it!

You should be aiming to achieve a similar response to #2.

And there you go. Now you have 5 PBN sites that are strong, look great and will get you results. Now just add your articles (unique articles!), add in your link sensibly and smartly, and watch your rankings increase. Remember your mindset - THIS IS A LEGIT SITE AND NOT A PBN SITE - so make sure to constantly add new posts/updates to the site yourself.

And once you're confident with doing this, simply scale it up and do this for 10 sites/50 sites/100 sites. I have hundreds of domains in my PBN and they're all going super strong becuase I follow this very simple process. Do not treat your PBN as a PBN. Treat it as a collection of real, money sites. Change your mindset at how you view your PBN and the rest will take care of itself.

To quickly summarize - if you are new/just starting out - DO NOT purchase a PBN service unless you know what you need to look out for/what you're buying. Instead:

1. READ! This is free. It doesn't cost money. Even an hour a day for a week will be good enough before you begin setting up your PBN.

2. EXPERIMENT! Using just a few domains, create a small network. Make sure you do it properly.

3. RESULT! There. Wasn't so hard, was it? PBNs are really not that complicated.. so long as you do it properly and correctly. It only gets complicated when you do it the wrong way.

Once you test out your PBN, track your results, do some testing - THEN I would maybe recommend you go out and purchase a PBN service.. because this time - you know exactly what a PBN should look like/do.

Apologies if there are any typos. It's 4AM and I'm half asleep.

People like you and OP are so inspirational.

Thanks a lot for the content guys, I'm really new and really excited to start my PBN's and I agree 100% that reading is absolutely the best route, I've learned so much and I've probably become a faster reader too, spent the whole day pretty much reading tutorials lol
 
Was half expecting this guide to be a load of old rubbish but you know what? It's top draw stuff and worth a read.

Thanks sent OP, a nice read.
 
Awesome Article.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge - really appreciate your time!
 
Thanks for the detailed post about PBN tutorial. This post is really helpful for me to build my future PBNs.
 
Hi lightningblitz, thanks for the post, some useful info here, I tend to get stuck on domain metrics all the time. I will ask you few questions later as I am currently scraping exp domains. it's really trying to understand the metrics and back links.

Also, you could mention the following: if you have market samurai, add the exp-doamins to the SEO competition tab and install Majestic SEO plugin. MS will give you the OBL, RRD etc and if you click on the domain, browser will load and you can then clink on the MJ-SEO plug-in which will give you page,www and the root values. this is a good way to get a quick brief result

this is not something I discovers, someone on YT or here mentioned it before
 
any REASON why everyone uses Wordpress????
why not some simple plain HTML?
or use adobe muse..
or some other editor?
 
One of the best PBN guide post i seen awhile on any forum. thanks a million!
