Duplicate Backlinks by PBN-Pumping?

Greetings guys,
I'm having lots of german forums available for building some backlinks. The most of them have already links on them for my c&b-sites, that are pumped by a pbn. Because my competition in some niches bought some authority links I want to destroy their gains again by also building/buying more authority links to the pages and also plant some forum-links for the pbn-blogs to increase their power.

But a thought came to my mind, which I am a bit afraid of.
Let's assume I have a Niche-site 'a' having a backlink from blog '1'. Site 'a' also has a backlink from forum '1a'.
Does it make sense to build the same backlink from forum '1a' to Blog '1' Or does google recognize, that both sites, which are connected by linking also have the same backlink on the forum '1a'?

Thanks and best regards

Wait, Do you mean Forum profile link?

And Its almost like exchanging links to Google's eyes right? I dont think it still works.

Nope i mean a link in a post in the forum. Profile links don't work (anymore) as far as I know. Never underestimate a good, niche-relevant forum link.

Yeah but you could be right about that.

Yes I agree profile links dont work. You can get great traffic from forum links however.

The additional traffic is indeed a sweet little extra

I never did man... Links from niche related traffic sources are definitely good to have. So site a has back links from blog 1 and forum 1a and Forum 1a also gives a link to blog 1 right? Not sure It would be suspicious. May be it depends on the content the links come out from and how well you linked to the blog 1 and site a. But make sure you dont keep the same pattern to build many back links.

That's what I thought m8 ,
perhaps if I do this kind of strategy with 25-30% of the pbn and observe what is happening.

I could write a short conclusion in the future, when the analysis is through
