There are lots of website ranking in top 10 for keywords with hard competition. I know it’s because of hidden pbn links but I want to know, how are those backlinks that moz or majestic won’t detect like those hidden pbn links created?
Thanks.

Create a simple blog and site on expired domain and then block all tracking bots, its not that hard.

In your .htaccess put something like this, and those bots doesn't crawl website.

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*ia_archiver.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*rogerbot.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*exabot.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*mj12bot.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*dotbot.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*gigabot.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*ahrefsbot.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*sitebot.* bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*xenu.* bad_bot
<Limit GET POST HEAD>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=bad_bot
</Limit>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

If the guy knows what he's doing, you won't find it.

Not robots.txt its .htaccess ( you can find it on your servers home folder , open cpanel filemanager then click settings on the right corner and check "show hidden files".)

Sometimes people use urls as anchor text, Google the URL and take a look. Bing webmaster tools sometimes turns up pbn links, so too does SEOprofiler. But as someone else states, you won't find pbn links of people doing it properly.

But what is the purpose of hidden your PBN links if google/bing/yahoo bots can't find them? Doesn't it make them useless?

They are not hidden from G bot, but for SEO tools so competitors couldn't find their most valuable links.

Basically this ^^ as you don't want to offer your competitors all your hard research and work on a plate.
