    Should I be concentrating on less competitive keywords, especially on the second or third page, to get them to first page?

    Hi. I noticed that for some very competitive keywords, if you rank on say, the 4th page, 5th page, or even lower, you don't get that much click through (you get impressions maybe, but not click throughs). However, if you rank on the first page for a less competitive keyword, you often get click...

    Hi. I would like to know what are people's experience with 3 way link exchanges, otherwise known as ABC link exchanges. This is when a partner owns two domains, domain A and domain C. Your domain is domain B. The partner will put a link on domain A which points to your domain (domain B) and in...

    Wait 36 days before linking out from a new PBN?

    Hi. I read an interesting case study that says if you just acquired and setup a PBN, you should wait 36 days until you link out from this newly setup PBN: So in this case study, it was for PBNs setup from expired domains. But this had me thinking, even for auctioned domains that have not...

    Expired vs Expiring domain for PBN?

    Hi. My understanding is that expiring domains are good to get because they haven't dropped yet, so if you convert it into your PBN network, they will typically provide good link juice. What about expired domains? That is, domains that have already been dropped. Are expired domains still...

    PBN help: domains where majority of link juice points to inner pages?

    Hi. Once in a while, I come across a domain with very good statistics that I want to use for my PBN (good DR, good TF/CF, backlink profile is natural and not spammy). However, the only drawback of this domain is that a lot of the links that give this domain its link juice are external links...

    Best marketplace to find registered domains?

    Hi. What are the best marketplaces/websites to find registered domains, where I can see the domain name too? I'm looking for something like tbsolutions where the domains have already been pre-screened for spam and where I can see the domain name as well before I purchase it (I would like to...

    According to Ahrefs, getting a link from a lower DR PBN is better than a link from Forbes or CNN

    So according to Ahrefs, it's better to get a do-follow link from a lower DR PBN (with few outgoing external links) than to get a do-follow link from Forbes.com or for that matter, CNN.com or Time.com, assuming the UR on the PBN is equal to Forbes/CNN/Time: https://ahrefs.com/blog/dr-score/...

    Get a backlink from page with UR = 30, DR = 70 or page with UR = 70, DR = 30?

    Hi, let's say there are two pages from two different websites. One page is UR = 30, DR = 70. The other page is UR = 70, DR = 30. For simplicity, assume everything else about the pages and websites are equal (except for the UR and DR mentioned), including the cost of the backlink. Should I...

    Expiring domain where link juice comes from a lot of inner pages. Buy it or find something else?

    Hi. There is an expiring domain that I am looking at with decent TF/CF and DR that I am thinking of using it as part of my PBN. The problem is, many of the links to the domain with link juice point at various inner pages. Thus, the directory structure will be very complex and there will be a...

    Shouldn't a 3 to 5 site PBN be somewhat safe from a penalty from Google?

    So I was just watching this Matt Cutts video from 2014 on cross linking between partner websites: . Here is another Matt Cutts video (but older) where he talks about cross linking partner websites: As per the video, according to Matt Cutts, if you cross link 3 to 5 of your partner websites...

    How does Google differentiate between PBN and a Partner website network?

    So I just watched this Matt Cutts video from 2014 on cross linking between partner websites: A partner website is like ebay.com linking to ebay.co.uk. As per the video, according to Matt Cutts, if you cross link 3 to 5 of your partner websites (such that you form a partner website network)...

    DR vs TF, which is more accurate?

    So these days, people are saying DA is not so accurate in determining the strength of a domain in Google's eyes. The other two widely cited metrics in the SEO community is DR (from Ahrefs) and TF (from Majestic). Based on your experience, especially within the last 2 years, which is more...

    What is new with blackhat SEO in the last 3 years?

    So, I have been out of the blackhat SEO loop for the last 3 years. From my experience from several years back, true PBNs (a Private Blog Network that you setup for yourself and don't let others use) can work if you are careful about not leaving footprints. Also, contextual backlinks from...

    So a backlink from a new page on CNN or Wikipedia won't help much in the short term?

    Hi. I had a discussion with other members of this forum on the impact of a backlink from a new inner page (https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/conxtextual-backlink-from-inner-page-low-pa-on-inner-page-but-good-da-on-domain.1122986/). The discussion led to another interesting topic about the...

    Conxtextual backlink from inner page, low PA on inner page, but good DA on domain?

    Hi. The general consensus is that we should try to get contextual backlinks from pages with good PA, and if the domain has a good DA. So what about a domain that has a good DA, the website itself and the article is very contextual to your money site, but the inner page has low or almost zero...

    Can a backlink from web 2.0 subdomain possibly penalize my money site?

    Hi, let's say I get a backlink from a web 2.0 subdomain. From my understanding, Google treats a subdomain from a web 2.0 site similarly to a domain. For example, a blog on Tumblr is just a subdomain of Tumblr. I would like to get some backlinks from some web 2.0 subdomains to my money site...

    Can a backlink from Tumblr to my money site also penalize it?

    Hi. My understanding is that a blog on Tumblr is more or less a subdomain of Tumblr. And my understanding is, Google treats a subdomain similarly to a domain. I would like to get some backlinks from Tumblr directly to my money site. Since Google may treat a subdomain similarly to a domain...

    Are backlinks from inner pages worth spending money on?

    Hello. Assume I have a budget of $40 a month. Let's say a domain has a DA of 40 and is in my niche. So the DA is pretty decent. Now this domain has an inner page but there are very few external links pointing to this inner page (or maybe there are no external links at all pointing to this...

    Worth it to purchase domains with 302 redirect for PBN?

    Hi. Does anybody know if it is worth it to purchase a domain that has been 302 redirected to another domain? I usually find some good domains in auctions with good PR, DA, and TF/CF ratio. The backlink profile of said domain is also good. The problem is, when I check the domain in the...

    PBN domain and money site on the same GoDaddy account - can Google trace this?

    Hi all. I just won a domain auction and I plan to use this domain as part of my PBN. The problem is, this domain is on the same GoDaddy account as my money site. I have added privacy to the new domain I won. If I use this new domain as part of my PBN and point a backlink to my money site...
