I personally don't build any links to my PBN.

I have my own personal PBN of around 100 sites, I only use it for my own sites, and all domains were acquired through GoDaddy auctions with a PR of at least 3 and DA/PA of at least 40.

The point being, the domains you have should be quality already and you shouldn't have to do any extra linkbuilding, if they're not quality, don't waste your time with the domain at all.

DA/PA/PR can be manipulated easily, so check the anchors and try to avoid foreign/spammy sites that did previous link building. A quick check on http://archive.org can also show if anybody snatched the domain name before you and made it into a PBN.

Me?

I reinvest most of my money. My partner candybar and I put several thousand down each for a project that's now live, so other than that...

- 500 Private Proxies
- Personal PBN
- Authority+ Domains - quite costly.

and a few of these to run multiple copies of GSA SER/GSA CB/SB/CS/GScraper + Proxy Service on.

I have a website with 40+ posts on it, and it's 2 months old. This is my first I am trying to rank. Most of my keywords are in between the positions 40 - 180 in the SERPS. Only problem I am having is that I am building backlinks for keywords in position 40,108, & 200 but they are not moving in the SERPS. These keywords are not competitive by any means. Many of the top 10 results on Google don't even have a backlink to them and some of the keywords' top 3 in SERPS are yahoo answers and youtube vids, all with 0 backlinks or no more than 5 (and these backlinks aren't very high quality or PR).

For each keyword (inner page) I have built more than 10 web 2.0s.These web 2.0 are high PR (i.e. Blogger, Weebly, Wordpress, etc..). My exact keyword anchor text for each set of backlinks is 10% or less. My backlinks are handwritten by me, and are unique content and high quality and related to the topic of my site.Each web 2.0 post is minimum 500 words. After building these backlinks I have put them in an indexing service and they are all getting indexed. On average I am building 5-10 web 2.0s for each of the 3 keywords.

If you think it might be my onsite optimization, i just want to say my keyword density is 1-1.5% for my inner pages. I am using Yoast SEO and making sure all the indicator circles are green and that I am meeting the requirements. I also have My keyword in the H2 tags at least once. I made sure there's no duplicate content on my site, meaning I wrote excerpts for each post and made sure the categories pages are no index. I have followed php's guide to an authority site and implemented what he has said.

Despite all of this, not a single one of those 3 keywords I am trying to rank has even moved up or down. Is there something I am doing wrong? because I have seen people going up the SERPS here on BHW, 7 days after them building a couple of web 2.0s. I have been building these backlinks for 2 weeks now and I have seen no results/movements whatsoever.

Sorry If the post was long, i wanted to be as detailed as I could be.

You need to know how to use it correctly.

If you have no idea how to use it and just have a list, test it on a web 2.0, see how many links get indexed without you doing anything in 1 week. From there, you can get a general idea on how much you can scale it up.

Manual blog commenting is wonderful, I often look through my lists of millions of URLs and find some PR7+ sites and manually post, they're all nofollow, but they're still great to have in your link profile.

Social signals, you can't really mess up there. If it's a small site, use HootSuite and setup some posts on social networks and have it do it automatically.

That'll slowly increase your ranking. I can't really tell you more with the information you've given me, but I gave my best effort.

Thank you! You're giving me a lot to work with, which I really appreciate. A lot of people give 1/10 of this and expect my reply to be a novel.

Well, I can see why the Yahoo Answers and YouTube pages are ranking. First of all, all you really need to do is get the YouTube video indexed in a low competition niche and wait for Google to do the rest. Unless it's a high competition niche, building links to a YouTube video is not necessary. Yahoo Answers tend to rank well, is the query you're trying to rank for a question? Yahoo Answers accomplishes that and provides simplicity, the user finds the answer fast. So, that's why they're ranking with no backlinks.

Now, you've built some web 2.0's and it seems like you've spent a lot of time into creating them. Allow me to suggest, even though it's offtopic, try manually writing a spintax

--- anyway... people think that since there is a high domain authority on the web 2.0's, they have tons of link juice and will rank your website in a minute. That really won't happen, they're not as important in my opinion unless you're using them as a filter to your main site.

So, unless you're trying to rank using spam and you're using the web 2.0's as a filter for the spam, they're really useless. I recommend that you do build links to the web 2.0's, since you've spent so much time on them and they're essentially mini-sites. They'll possibly rank themselves (you can be a lot less careful when trying to rank them) and they'll pass on some juice to the main site.

Also, try social signals. HootSuite method as mentioned above.

What should we do in 1st tire , 2nd tire & 3rd tire ? If you answer it specifically it would help the Noob. Waiting for your answer.

iwillnbd · May 12, 2014

How do you come up with new niches for building up a profitable website around ?
(The niches i come up with are either very saturated or very hard to rank)

1st tier -- keep it quality, web 2.0's (blogspot, blog, bravenet, fc2, snappages, tumblr, webnode, webs, weebly, wordpress, yola, zoomshare, etc) -- preferably do follow.
2nd tier -- wiki's, bookmarks and maybe some different web 2.0's pointing to the tier 1 web 2.0's (weebly, wordpress and zoomshare linking to tumblr for example).
3rd tier -- whatever's left, spam is fine.

The niches I'm in are actually very competitive, I would tell you to look into building your own PBN.

Keep it quality, saturated means that it's profitable, just that you're not the only one fighting for a bite of it.

iwillnbd · May 12, 2014

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
A few more...

Which one do you prefer for your websites & why :

Wordpress or HTML ?
Traditional website structure (Good looking but not much SEO value) or SILO structure (Ugly but good for SEO) ?

Lares · May 12, 2014

1. Do you buy domains for PBN that were dropped in the past and recreated in different niche? (not spammy niche or PBN)

2. Do you buy domains that have natural backlink profile but backlinks and website were in foreign language?

3. How much did your own PR3+ PBN network cost you? / How much you pay on average for a PR3 domain?

4. How do you spread your anchor text across your PBN. Do you use just "strong" keywords on PBN and generic/naked you get from cheaper sources (which?)? Or you use generic/naked anchors on your PBN too? How many times you link your money website from 1 domain?

5. Do you link out to authority websites on your PBN?

6. Whats better, to make 10 PBN websites niche oriented all linking to 1 money website, or to make 50 PBN websites linking to 5 money websites all in different niche?

Thanks

Wordpress for a multi-niche, so much easier to manage.

I have a few websites with like 5 pages I got a web developer to create and a web designer to go over and make it pretty.

They're both ranking pretty well, the 5 page one, though, I think is more unique and different from other results, and it's ranking higher (it ranked alone on page 40~ and my PBN brought it to the 1st page).

Wordpress is a lot harder to rank, other than the onpage you can do with the free addons like Yoast. I like the flexbility of HTML.

SILO works well for my multi-niche sites, but it's ugly. Just keep it traditional and do some offpage, no need to link back to yourself excessively.

Thanks

1. I make sure that the sites were never used in any other link building schemes.
2. No.
3. They range, sometimes they're cheap like $50, but I've spent more than $1,000 on a single PBN domain before (it was well worth it).
4. I use the main anchor and also link to sites like Facebook, links to Google search queries, it associates my site with authority sites and looks less spammy. Other diversification is done with other platforms beforehand.
5. I don't do interlinking, I try to leave no footprints. I use A class IP's and different whois

As for linking to other sites, check above

6. I use generic niches, and if I can't find a generic niche, I use a wide variety. So I can't really answer that question, sorry.

Either edit it a little bit, replace it, or link back in the end of the duplicate content.
