Yeah, this is most likely some crap. I'm sure they analyze what the site used to be about, and what the current content is, but they can't slap everyone because there is a lot of legitimate cases where a site changes hands. Slapping a site for not being in the same niche, would change the entire aftermarket sales of websites. SEO and Non-SEO, Website value would be damn near impossible to determine due to the loss of links, only if G decides. This would be a crap-shoot of a market. I think you can rest easy for now. Things may change, but that method isn't going to pass and go into effect, scrutiny from the internet community would be inevitable.

So you're saying you don't believe that Google resets a backlink profile if it sees the new site is completely unrelated to the old site?
It sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I.E. if I buy and rebuild a website about cooking and remake it to be about lawyers Google takes note and legitimatizes all the hotdog related backlinks the site got before I changed the site over.
In fact I'd argue that Google has been doing this a LONG time. This is why you want to be careful about the topic/niche of a domain you buy. Its also why people rebuild sites in their exact niche. And its also why shitty public PBNs haven't been working well for a LONG time. Niche matters.

Even if the reported news are true, the above would clearly be a very easy solution - just stick with the topic of the original site and job done.
However, as others mentioned, most likely this is some hogwash.

I'm currently running several tests at the moment testing different theories around this.
Even though it hasn't been a week yet, I'm seeing increases on my keywords already - so PBN's certainly aren't going to die anytime soon if you do it correctly. Just because your rankings have dropped this week doesn't mean it's because of this new "update".
My own theory is that there is some truth to what is said in the video. I think PBN's made with dropped domains will continue to work but just won't pass as much juice when compared to an aged domain that hasn't been dropped.

I have seen positive results with my own PBN as well. I only buy niche relevant domains that would have a resaon to link out to my site. Hitting the first page for a few keywords in the first 3 months.

There is two way of looking at it. I'm not sure its an issue with dropped domains, so much as an issue of a site changing topics completely. You'd have to test whether or not dropped domains matter or not IF you keep in the exact same niche. Rebuilds seem to work, so I'm guessing Google like always cares about CONTENT. If your CONTENT is completely different subject matter than it was 3 years ago why should Google give you the juice from that? This isn't a revolution to me. Makes total sense, and it would only affect PBNs that are build poorly across non-relevant domains.

PBN is not dead, however shitty PBNs with tons of unrelated content and a bunch of backlinks from sites having nothing to do with it? Probably dead or dying.

Look at the title of this thread.
I can see how someone would come to that conclusion, but my comment was made in regards to the frequency of posts on this topic.
Also the fact that Google lies. A lot. I honestly don't believe anything they say unless I see it for myself.
So what you're saying might be true, but what I'm saying is don't jump to conclusions just bc a company employee tells you something. Saying PBNs are dead forever after watching that video is like saying you have AIDS after you have sex with a hooker. The only way to really know for sure is to get tested.

The title is a crazy conclusion, you're right about that.
I'm just saying that, on this particular occasion, I actually think Google's quote about topical treatment of domains is essentially true.
I also feel that the day of garbage public "general topic" PBNs is coming to a close soon. Some of the trash I've seen on the market is laughable, domains about weddings being made into a "general topic" PBN with mostly posts about SEO services on it... terrible. Luckily, those of us who build PBNs smartly won't be effected. PBNs aren't dying, just shitty non-niche public PBNs.

The fact is, PBNs are not dead. PBNs are still alive and kick'n just make sure you're using it the right way.
