How long do you wait before seeing rank improvement after pbn links ?

Hi

I added 8 homepage links from a PBN with good domains and content
but it has been 15 days and i didn't see any improvement for my keyword, even a +1

How do you usually wait before seeing any improvement using pbn ?

Thanks

usually within a week, i have seen some even quicker but the long term effect is usually two weeks. see if the posts from PBN are indexed in ahrefs or majestic seo.

what do you mean "good domains" ? what's the DA, PA, and PR ?

It depends on several factors. Your domain age, how many backlinks you had before, etc. Brand new sites may not move up at all. So go slowly and diversify your links.

i mean domains with good and clean backlinks profile (including wikipedia links)
the money site i'm talking about was already on the first page before adding the pbn links
i expected at least 1 or 2 spot improvement but after 2 weeks can't see any effect (i'm on 7th spot for a low comp keyword)

Nuker whats the average trustflow and citation flow of the network. Go check it on majesticseo.

is this your own network or a network that is available to the public? if they are public, I am not surprised that you are not ranking. a lot of public networks are on G's watch list.

it's my own network with different registrar and different hostings and unique content

are all of them indexed? i mean posts and domains?

Could be because your site is over-optimized. Check PHPBuilt's authority site building thread (search it). Super good info.

It depends several ranking factors. Or Your keyword competition so high.

i usually get results within just a few days, under a week

It can take days to a couple of weeks for me

All depends on google

and at the same time it could be that your site is not properly optimized via titles, headings and so forth to rank top position for the keywords you are after use your own common sense to determine which scenario aplies here by looking over your site and its link structure.

Are all your links exact anchor matches from you PBN? that also no bueno. Balance out with LSI and generic from a few cheap readily postable backlink sources ie. bookmarks, web 2.0, etc. obviously manual and high quality and not all blasted at once since this seems to be a long term endeavor of yours.

Same link types to hit your PBN posts will also help get that link juice moving and show impact on your rankings.

Also,

since you mention low comp, is this is local search and above properties are google local+ listings?

if so that changes things around quite a bit.

Cheers.

i already got the website on the first page with gsa so i already have link and anchor text diversity
what i wonder about is i didn't see even a +1 rank improvement after adding the links neither a drop

Is it possible that your PBN is crap, or the domains are penalized? Have you ranked anything with it before?

This.

Also I would never hit a site with 8 PR links at a time. I'd wait and see what each single one does.

Typically 1-2 days, a week for sure.

I also hope you didnt hit it with 8 exact anchors either

Depends on several factors. But if your network is powerful enough you should see some movement usually in a week or two. For newer sites it may take some time.

more than 20 days
