One needs to be careful while choosing a PBN sellers in the market place
 
Popular SEO hosting for a PBN network.

What could possibly go wrong?
 
The is not link penalty in Penguin 4. They just null the links and a "Penguin Tag". Get enough tags, you get a review from a Google employee (which is worse) IMO

wtf are you talking about.

Lets say I spam 1000 websites, do you think Google has enough members of staff to check their link profiles? No.

Google doesn't care enough about your Aff project to manually check it, they'll squash it with their algo.

Stay tuned because I am cracking down on two more sellers who I believe their whole network was hit as well.

You can PM me the names of the sellers and I might be able to have reports on them.
 
These guys need to take a lot more pride in their services. Last month it was providers posting on the same networks, now it's this.

Might be time to stop expecting VAs to do everything whilst you play video games and actually take a look at your own networks every once in a while?
 
Let's just not make a witch hunt out of this. :) And not mentioning names until proven guilty would be a good idea too imo.

Well, one already closed down his BST, and I have the domains/post date/order dates of the ones who got penalized.

Shoot me a PM with the info please. Pure curiosity.

I wonder if this is something for mods to handle or not. Probably not, risks involved with buying PBN links are obvious I suppose. On the other hand, this hunt may be perceived as some kind of slander... ah I don't know. I guess I will just stay out of this.
 
In the last 24 hours I've received several messages from various members who have sent me PBN links from sellers they used. I received links from 5 services so far. Looking at the links, no wonder they got deindexed in the first place. Horrible hosting, poor WP set up, garbage content, rookie footprints and the list goes on. Some of the sellers are also marketing the service as "homepage posts" when in fact the posts don't even show fully on the homepage! Others are claiming their domains are clean when all it took was 2 minutes for me to find chinese and adult crap through Wayback. And to top it all off, the links I received from a particular member for a particular PBN service matches up with links I received from another member for another PBN service. Clearly some sort of PBN sharing going on here.

I'm glad this thread exists. Hopefully more light is shed on these shady sellers. Seriously, some of the sites I saw are utter garbage and it's clear there's some sort of connection with the PBN's between various specific sellers on the marketplace.

As @Nargil said, I'll leave this to the BHW staff to handle (if there's anything to handle). I'm going to stay out of this from here on, but just wanted to share my final thoughts before doing so.

Well that's the second "sharing" issue here in the past month and I don't believe there were any consequences last time, were there?

It's getting pathetic really. Keyword of the 2017 - BACKBONE
