I've read through many PBN threads and I'm trying to create a "masterlist" of PBN footprints mainly for myself.
But I need help. So I'm going to write a list of things I know then at the end ask questions about things I'm confused about.
HERE ARE THE MAIN FOOTPRINTS I'M AWARE OF:
1) Never interlink your PBN sites (obvious)
2) Use decent quality articles (ovious)
3) Diversify the shit out of your anchors and Alex says never use the same anchor text twice
4) Use spyder spanker plugin
5) Aim to have 33% of your sites on local domain extensions like ".us" or where ever you're from.
6) Build the remaining 66% on .com/.org/.net
7) Mix up CMS themes
8) Don't put a link on every post in your PBN
9) Interlink the content of your PBN
10) Mix up article length. Like do 1 - 800 word and 1 - 600 word post for every 4 - 400 word posts.
11) About us pages that are unique and preferably with more than 200 words
12) Contact us pages as well
13) Run a DNS check using http://www.intodns.com or http://who.is/dns/ (may need to manually edit DNS zone to change email)
14) Different author names on every site
Now, where things get confusing...
15) Use fake names for registration.
I saw a guy in Alex's thread talking about how he was asked for a drivers license and passport otherwise his domain would be cancelled.
Alex responded saying that if you're called out on this, then supply what they ask for. But furthermore, if they ask about the fake name on the whois information, all you have to say is "that person is a client" and they will leave you alone? Is that true? (question #1)
16) Use a separate email for each new host.
This doesn't confuse me. What confused me is next
17) Use a private proxy on those emails?
This is something I read another member say in a different thread. And people thanked him. But do I seriously need a private proxy just for the emails I use to register with the hosts? It doesn't make sense to me. How the hell would that raise any red flags? (question #2)
Question #3 - Aside from those 2 questions, is there ANYTHING ELSE you guys see that I have missed? If so, please let me know.
Question #4 - I'm starting off building a 20 domain PBN for **1** primary, aged local site. It's my most profitable site which is why I want to focus on it the most. Will it be a red flag if I link all 20 of my PBN sites to that 1 money site? I have other aged local sites I can also link to. Another in a semi-relevant niche that is on pages 2-3 for most it's keywords. But I don't want to link to that site cause it's on the same exact hosting account as my main money site (in fact, I have 2 other fairly strong local sites on this same hosting account). So again, how do I make this look natural? Is it gonna look weird if each PBN has 1 link on every other 2-3 pages pointing to a different page on my main money site?
I assume it will cause ALL the OBL from these PBN's will be pointing to the same exact site.
At the same time I'm not sure how to avoid this or how else to do the linking? Do I move my other 3 local sites to separate hosts, wait a few months, then diversify the links on my PBN that way? Do I link to other random sites and sacrifice link juice? This is something that seriously puzzles me.
