I am feeling very frustrated with SEO.

I have my own PBN of 100+ websites and my website cannot dominate page 1. I am using a third party publication spending about 1k a month and I can only get top 20-30. I used to get to top 10 but now I cant even dominate top 10. What's happening?

You can spend 10k without results if you're not smart about it.

Before your start off page SEO, fix your onpage and the technical aspect. Make sure you're not after die-hard keywords.

Then, secure links on relevant, authority sites with verified search traffic, and try to negotiate well, and pay the fair value or less of the links.
 
and ive been buying off a third party authority PR website. What kind of links are you guys using? I have my very own PBN that I own but not working and effective

Complete SEO process (on-page, off-page and technical) after that Two most essential steps are consistently monitor you content (high-quality, relevant, well-structured, Upto Date ) and building backlinks. I think this can help you rank faster.

I understand how you feel, but things have changed a lot. Google's changes in the last few years have made PBNs and low-quality link schemes less valuable, so depending on them a lot won't help you like it used to. Instead, the focus is now on subject authority, high-quality content, EEAT (experience, expertise, authority, trust), and getting real backlinks. If you're already spending $1,000 a month, you might want to put some of that money into content, digital PR, or relationships that establish long-term authority instead of trying to use PBNs to gain higher ranks.

Backlinks alone won't take you to the first page. You need to work on your on page and technical SEO too.

100+ domain PBN should be very effective. What kind of domains do you have there? Are they strong enough, or are they $10 new/expired domains?

Algo shifts are rough lately :confused: PBN weight dropped a lot, and authority + topical depth matter more now. Sometimes even $$$ links won’t push past page 2 :rolleyes:.
 
I think your rankings drop likely means Google is devaluing PBN links, so real authority content and natural backlinks matter more now.
 
I can definitely relate to your frustration. The truth is, a PBN of 100 sites isn't what it used to be. Google's algorithms are now much better at detecting and devaluing them, especially if they have shared footprints. Nowadays, a single, high-quality, genuine backlink can be far more powerful than dozens of PBN links. The focus has shifted from quantity to true quality and relevance
 
What's happening is that it's a basket of crabs. As your spending, so others are spending also, besides those you can never catch up with to start with. So know your strength and stick with it else you might overdo your capacity.
 
Look, I get the appeal of quick wins; but Google’s not playing that game anymore. PBNs and sketchy link tactics? Mostly dead weight now. If you’re already spending $1K a month, aim higher. Put that budget into content that actually builds trust, PR that gets you seen, and relationships that bring in real links. That’s what drives long-term rankings now. Forget shortcuts. Build something that lasts.
 
What is content that build trust? Like Forbes?>
 
Try to rank for easier and less competitive keywords, you will build some authority and get a slice of this cake
