German PBN Imprint Guideline?

Ky0n' · Dec 14, 2020

Hi guys,

im wondering if some of you are experienced with german pbn's, as I may take a dive into it. I am facing the following challenge/question and am wondering if you have any advice about it:

As you should know, basically every german website needs to have a valid Imprint. This is ofc not optimal for a PBN as it leaves a very noticeable footprint among the different sites. Did you find a way, that is preferably legal and also able to prevent that footprint?

Thank you for your ideas

Do you mean .de domains? Because .com with deutsch content might not technically classify as german.

One way I can think of is to actually be in contact with real people with real info behind each PBN unit.

With that being said, you don't need german PBN to push german rankings.

You don't need an imprint for private or non earning sites. As long as there aren't any ads or aff links I think you're ok.

I actually mean .de domains, I've heard that several times. But I'm still confined that google will eventually patch that. Id also be interested in building a very clean PBN only, no spammy blogs at all.

I have looked it up, any you actually do need an imprint 9,5 out of 10 times. As soon as you post journalistic content (not necessarily politics) you'll need an imprint.

I've seen some Imprints (not on PBNs, but on normal websites) are made as images, to avoid data scraping of personal details. You can try that, and change the hash of the image to avoid footprint. And remember, Google can read images too. The only way will be to cloak that page, just for Google / Bing.

What do they have to do with this?

That's totally up to you.

.com doesn't automatically mean spammy.

Nice one!

I just thought of another. Give the page with imprint info noindex, nofollow tag. This will not help against manual review of course.
