OBLs on PBNs, link juice efficiency when abnormally high?

Currently testing various PBN rental vendors on BHW. Many share the same format when deploying their PBNs, in particular those with homepage links to money sites.

One in particular link out to multiple authoritative sites within the post. Now, I understand the reasoning behind this approach, which is to enhance legitimacy in G's eyes. But wouldn't this dilute the juice gathered on the homepage, therefore affecting money sites?

For example, the PBN's homepage has 25 posts. Each post will link to 1 money site + 2 related authoritative (legit) articles on the subject. This results in 75 homepage OBLs... All do-f0ll0w.

Care to share some thoughts on this approach?

im also curious about this

Linking out to authorative is a confirmed ranking resource but yes it will most likely dilute the power & probably useless for a PBN since theres no point in doing it unless u intend to rank the post

I think those additional links would be no follow but ask sellers here

also sometimes the articles seems "incomplete" without citing to external sources .. but what about with APA style citing or similar (no html ahref code) ,google still counted citation number
and with html ahref citing ,should we nofollow them all? im unsure as follow links is sign of trust

I’m sure there’s some dilution, but also a trade off of increased authority / legitimacy.

Years ago Matt Cutts shared that Pagerank is not passed as simply as a “split” anymore.

Meaning, if you have multiple links on a page, it doesn’t inherently mean that the pagerank is equally split among them.

So will there be dilution? Likely yes. Is it worth linking to authority sites to look more legitimate to the algorithm, also likely yes.

I’ve always used authority links on my PBNs, and sometimes even link to competitors. The idea is that you want to have some of the same links as them. I certainly don’t do this every time, but there are circumstances where it can be useful.

Unfortunately no follow links will leak link juice too. That was said by Matt Cutts some years ago.
