Do I need PBN links?

I have built over 15 links on DA 50+ sites for guest posts with real traffic from manual outreach. I actually just received a DA 80+ link yesterday.

I have 3 homepage links on DA 40+ sites for an annual ad spot. Additionally, I also built a couple Web 2.0s with unique content and ordered some social signals. Have another 5 or so links that I am still waiting on to be delivered.

My site is 8 weeks old with 68 high-quality unique articles (over 130k words). Articles are ranking and starting to receive some organic traffic the past 7-10 days. Have ~100 keywords ranked so far. From here, my next goal is 100 articles.

Should I start considering PBN links? Are they needed or will they do more harm than good? Budget isn't too big of a concern at this time.

Thanks,

Considering how well you are doing with the guest posts, I don't think you really need PBNs. Definitely not now at least. If you run out of targets for guest posts and your ranking won't budge, then you can start considering PBNs.

For the time being, I really don't think it's necessary. Continue doing what you are doing, good job so far.

PBN are never "needed" so to speak, but they can help (with a risk). Let's say this is "grey" hat, and guest posting is just "nearly white" hat.

So there is always more risk with PBN. Only buy from a seller you trust, as PBN can make damage to your site if not properly set.

This is just what I was about to write. Chill with the link building for a while, you're doing a lot better than most people.

Keep building out the website.

You’re doing fine but after a while you’re going to be needing that extra juice then use pbns

For me, PBN is a good option only if you use all other sources of links and you have no ideas for further links. Then you go in PBN.

save it for later

Use it as a last resort.
