OK. Cool. Thanks for getting back to me. I find your approach to be simple. One more things. If you build your own PBN, do you think you should use multiple proxies, domain registrars, and emails?
It's pretty simple. This is all you do :-
1. Use 5-6 domain registrars. I personally just use 1 account per registrar. Google can't see what account they belong to, and I think you're LESS likely to get in trouble from just having 1 account with 100+ domains, than you are having multiple, which looks suspicious.
2. Always use fake whois info. Create a throwaway hotmail/yahoo/gmx email for icann verification.
3. About 20% of your domains use whois prot, just to keep it natural. Most domains don't use whois prot, and definitely don't have real info behind whois prot. Google can potentially see behind it. It's just laziness not to have fake info behind whois prot.
4. Host on separate hosting companies/ips
5. Use wordpress with different themes.
6. use spiderblocker plugin.
7. use 404 to 301 redirect plugin.
8. link out once to your money site and 1-2 times to other sites from the article.
9. For every 10 pbns, use 3 brand, 3 naked, 2 lsi, 1 generic and 1 exact anchor.
10. link deep. don't just link to your homepage. Link to the page that's most relevant to the pbn article. 10-30% homepage links max. The rest to your inner money pages, I do the occasional one to non-money blog pages. I like to just mix it up a bit. The only exception to this is if you have a small site then you'd naturally have more homepage links, but small sites don't work well in 2016
That's all there is to it. Build 10-50 pbns per month applying that formula and you'll rank. It's that easy. I don't even bother with any other links. No profiles, no directories, no comments, no web 2's. Just pbns, which as far as google are concerned are just contextual links. You just bounce around more if you start trying to 'diversify' with shit links.
