- Start date
Not bad to ask that. I was rather planning to share that. Most probably tomorrow will be another full update with all the details including final rankings, monetization, earnings till now etc. Since it is almost 3 months the time i started with this.

This is really expensive for the results, would you say this is overall more profitable than traditional link building ?
Answer to that question as well an update on the rankings and earnings.
The 2 money sites that have been targeted with this method are on first spot, traffic is increasing on daily basis.
Out of the 30 PBNs that i have been targeting for longtails, 24 of them are on first 2 spots and 6 are between 3-5. None below 5th spot.
Traffic from all the sites have roughly touched 1500-2000 uniques per day and pageviews of 10k-12k every day.
As far as monetization is concerned, both the money sites use amazon affiliate and out of the 30 PBNs, 18 sites use adsense and rest of them use amazon.
Money sites earnings are around $15-25 per day depending upon whether it is a week day or weekend, weekends are better.
30 PBNs put together earns around $10-15 per day again weekends are better earners. Out of this Adsense is earning around $5-8 per day.
Total earnings in last 30 day period is at $1100. Expenses for the last 30 days which includes hosting, content etc is around $250.
My future plans:
To test the next 30 days on all sites with adsense, my gut feeling is that it will be a better earner. To that effect i will first add more content which is more adsense oriented. I am preparing few videos for those products as well as tips & tricks kind of. I have already outsourced 2-3 videos for each site and the same is being outsourced through fiverr, there are some good gigs there for that.
I would also try ranking those videos on youtube and then drive traffic to my sites or atleast earn from them.
AIM is also to get first spot ranking for all sites. Thereby increase the traffic to at least 4k uniques per day and 20k pageviews per day. This should get me to my magic figure of $2k per month from all the 32 sites and target date that i have set for this is 30th September.

Great thread. Do you recommend placing adsense on PBN domains? I am just starting to create my first PBN with around 20 domains and using it to rank a money site. I will be using hosting found here in the BHW Marketplace. I am thinking about dripfeeding the links after a month, so the content and the PBN is aged.
I thought about making PBNs in a fashion that would simulate a personal blog and then write an article about having a great experience with a product form my money site and linking to that. Do you think this is bad? For instance, let's say I have a domain named www.crnihuma.com (doesnt mean anything), and I create a "person" Crni Huma that has set up a personal blog and likes to talk about his life. How many articles do you think I would need to seem natural and genuine to Googl3. Is this a good strategy? Thanks for the information, was very valuable to me.

That would be a waste of time
No PBN will ever pass manual review no matter how much these guru tards tell you. Just focus on the algorithm not catching you

So you place your adsense account on 18 domains (in your PBN)? Don`t you think this is a huge footprint?
One more thing, you say you use unique 800 words articles and that you have 80+30 doamins. Thats a total of 110 domains. How many articles do you use on your domains, I think you use at least 5-10 articles on one domain. So my question is at what price do you buy the articles because I think this costs a lot of money. One 800 words articles i think costs at least 15$-20$. So the initial investment would be around 16-17k just for the articles?

Initial investment was of around $2.5k that includes the domains registrations as well as articles for them. But there will be a monthly recurring charges of close to $250 till the time your sites start earning.
If you are only planning to link out to one money site from your PBN (which also should look & feel money site) then you can use adsense on quite a few of those sites.
Well, that is criminal to call it even a PBN. It is just a money site which is linking out to one other money site. Both look and feel more or less similar and very hard to guess. I agree with you that it is algorithms which work at the side of google and very less of manual reviews. Pretty much easy to be under radar with algorithms which i have mentioned many of my posts in this thread as to how i do this.
4 adsense accounts on 18 domains, i have reduced my risk to just 4-5 domains at a time. One months and it is still going strong. The number of domains i have is thus:
2 Money Sites
30 PBNs (Look & Feel Moneysite)
100 or so Tier 2 PBNs (they are just PBNs)
Only money sites have got good quality content which is a the rate of $8 per 500 words, so that costed around $200 for the articles on both sites. For the 30 tier 1 PBNs, i made a deal with a writer to provide articles at $30 per domain for 30 domains. He randomly gave me 5-10 articles per domain. That costed me a total of $900. So that is around $1100 for content. Then there is a recurring cost every month to add fresh content which is very minimal.
I never said this method is cheaper, content, premium hosting, tier 1 PBNs with Money site look & feel, all costed an initial investment of $1900 or so which i almost recovered from the first month of monetisation. Overall, a good investment and i have set targets for the future months to improve on the current earnings.

Sounds good ... so for the 100 tier 2 you use spinned content, right?

Do you build T2 to all your T1's or do you only build them to your exact match / main keywords?
Yes, you can use spun content for Tier 2, though i do not do that since i have in-house writers doing handwritten content for my clients and i get them for the tier 2 as well. Just that handwritten content ensures a longer life for your PBNs whether Tier 1 or Tier 2.
I build Tier 2 to Tier 1s and i don't go overboard with exact match anchors/keywords. It is always a mixed bag.
Yes, I do use all kind of themes. If the theme do not support full posts on homepage then I just edit out the content.php file and add replace php_excerpt with php_content in the code. This editing ensures that full posts are shown on homepage.

I saw you mention that you don't necessarily look at TF and some of these metrics and you're right. In order to really know value of a domain the
whole profile and history need to be taken in to consideration. Links like that where you know they're not bought and are hard to get are very valuable
even if Majestic gives such a low TF score.
