Is it possible to create a PBN for free

Hello,

I am fairly new to blackhatworld and a complete beginner, I am looking for cheaper ways to build traffic to my 3 websites and have been looking at gsa ser and scrapebox i have seen PBN's as a great way to build traffic, I was wondering if it was at all possible to build a PBN for free or a lot cheaper than others as I have seen it costs 500 dollars or more. Any help would be much appreciated

You can find expired web 2.0 (weebly, tumblr) and register them, that's free.
You can also create them from scratch (new domain name), but you'll need more time to grow their popularity, and you'll have to build links to them for that.

You can look at expired domain names, the only cost will be registration and hosting, you can do the rest by yourself if you have enough time (build the website, write the content).

You can find some nice ideas here : http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-build-your-own-pbn-under-275-15-domains.html

Free? No. But cheaper might be possible. You will need to research how to find the domains yourself. You can buy the actual domains cheap - coupons are around all the time for $1-2 per domain, you can go up to 3-4 like that. Hosting costs $1-2 per domain per month too. You can write the content yourself.

The problem comes with checking those domains to see which ones are clean/spammed. You will need Ahrefs or Majestic to be able to see all the backlinks.

You could go a lot cheaper, but it will consume a lot more time and energy.
