Hey mates, I hope you are doing awesome! Here is another link-building case study. Before I start talking about it, just to let you know that I have nothing against PBNs, I still use them in ranking other sites. This study is just to share with you this “fight” between PBNs and Niche Edits and to get your opinion about this. So let’s start reviewing this case.
1-time period: As you can see on the left side of the GSC screenshot, daily traffic was between 200 and 250. The site had much more potential and I thought it was time to get serious and rank this thing. So, I started adding new content. After finishing adding content, I’ve ordered 200 Niche Edits backlinks from my supplier agency (I told them to drip feed my site on 5-10 links per day so I can avoid footprint). After a week or two, I saw that my site has started growing up, and at the middle of the first hill, the site was fully fed with 200 fresh links.
2-time period: The second time period starts on the first hill from the left side. At that point, I thought that it was time to add PBNs to the game. I ordered around 100 PBNs from another supplier. After a week or two, I saw a huge huge drop in ranking. At the first glance, I thought that PBNs were bad, so I took a look at each one of them, and there was nothing wrong.
3-time period: After a huge drop, I thought “I have to save the site, and still have some sales” (also I forget to note that the site is eCommerce type). As you can see I’ve run FB ads for about 20 days. To be honest, ads saved my site. For the time FB ads were running, I removed each PBNs and start a re-optimizing site just in case. In short, I saw that the site got stabilized, and I thought, let’s run another batch of Niche Edits.
4-time period: So, as I said, I bought another batch of 50 links, and I did some outreach on my own. In a short time, the site has started growing again. After a while, I stopped adding links to it, and the site had a growing continuation.
Conclusion:
In this case, in my opinion, PBNs worked badly for this site. Which is not common to my sites, nor my cooperators, friends, or other SEO experts. Of course, I don’t hate PBNs, I do have some sites whose ranking is based ONLY on PBNs.
However, it also seems that without SUPER-QUALITY Niche Edits, my site would die.
I’ll be grateful if you share your opinion, or even better, share your experience with a similar situation. Cheers guys!
