Well, I agree with what are you saying, but still: 1. Of course it is speculation on my part what caused the drop. Without having direct access to Google or them letting me know, how else can I know for certain what caused my website to drop? It could be lots of things and I just think that it...

It did not look natural, no. But I am also just speculating that it was caused by this change, perhaps the anchor text change did not cause it? The counterpoint could be made - the loss occurred more than 5 months later after changing the anchor text. I am using Ahrefs but for my own money site...

I did. So I will just quote it here again: I later tried to change it to a more balanced anchor text distribution, but without any luck. Like those changes are absolutely ignored, there is barely any difference after changing it. Which should not be the case after changing 170-200 PBN links...

Just a quick update. I have tested something that I should have done a long time ago. I just pointed a few links of my PBNs to a couple of competitors to see what will happen. It has been just a couple of days since doing it but I can already see two links getting indexed and the linked websites...

Ok, I have added one of my PBNs to the Search Console, waiting for the data to come in. But that does not explain it really why would I be ranking for years in the top spots and then the sudden drop. If the PBNs would be weak in the first place then I would never rank. My theory is like this -...

Just a quick update - I have tried anything and it did not work. The bad thing is that even trying to point the PBN slowly to a new domain didn't make any moves in the serps, maybe perhaps some very small ones. I have like 200 PBN sites and they don't move the needle at all for my money sites...

Is it important to just search for the terms or do you also need to open the website after seraching with the branded term?

Will PM you shortly. Thanks.

Do you have any idea what could be the issue here: 200 PBN sites, niche specific, all with OBL = 1 (well +1 authority link mostly) Previously they have boosted the main money site really well, but I started to mess with the existing anchor texts. For a short-while it worked pretty well. Then...

How long does it take in your experience to see the full effect of a new PBN link?

Regarding anchor diversity - do you think that there are big differences between English sites (.com google) and sites from lets say really small EU countries/languages? Because every time I review my competitors pages (just exact URL, not whole domain) on ahrefs in a very competitive niche...

What about link velocity? Does it matter? Lets go back to my example - you have 200 PBN at your disposal and a single money site. How would you schedule it? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. So there are 3 options as you have mentioned: 1) static page on the home page with the link Downside: I will be loosing some link juice compared to an inner page that can be more relevant from multiple aspects (more relevant URL and also the homepage will have probably...

So sometimes you display the whole article with the link showing directly on the homepage and sometimes you show just excerpts so you have to click on to see the full post with the link to the money site? If yes - any estimate of a good ratio for this?

Thanks for your reply @MoneyValue . Fortunately I do have a backup site in the same niche. How exactly have you done the 301? On a page to page basis? Like oldsite.com/blue-widget => newsite.com/blue-widget etc.? Old homepage to new homepage? And also - have you done it all at once or in...
