Bro like I say at start there is many factors that google use to rank websites, but none here can help you just from information that you put few links and after that serps go down... and If you ask me about PBN's here I think I would never again test some...DA Between 15-20 mainly
Yes still alive
Keywords were either the website name, raw link of totally different anchors
Hmm.. what do you mean by slapped me? I guess Google did more than just a slap..
I have my PBN really good with good domains and for one project I need a lot of more then 60 how much I have and I was thinking because need that much just for this project to buy just PBN posts and not full domains but after 5-6 tests services here and all damn sux and all domains just have PR and spammy links to get DA and other metrics up, all I got is spammy posts and -$$$$ nothing else so I decide to better buy domains... will be more money but I know I will get good juice from them and rank easy....
So think about that, to even buy your own domains if you know to pick ones but like I see you like all see just DA PA and sh*t metrics... or I dont know
