PBN Linking Method - Case Study In Progress

pandasfriend said:

One more question please, do you place links on the homepage most of the time by showing full post or listing posts with excerpt text and linking inside of the post, I believe the mix of that is best but want to hear your take on this.

I have links all on homepage with full post showing. Excerpts reduces the potency since you need to create relevancy of the content with keywords in the full post along with your anchored link

Thanks for the case study.

What is your link velocity and do you send any Tier 2 to your PBN links. If so, how many per link?

I do send Tier2 to PBNs, that is what this method is all about.

Sristy, you are buying domain name with 1 per registrar?OR 5 per registrar?

I have accounts with almost all registrars and I randomly pick and choose, no set pattern

Quite an informative thread, method looks great but requires lots of hardwork and a good budget for PBNs I think.

Lot of elbow grease and if you are short of judge then it can be started in a scaled down version with one money site and 5 PBN domains.

Just read all 11 pages, such great info.

I'm building my first PBN and was searching for domains in my niche.. If I were to use your method, should I just use niche domains for my T1 and then use any domains that have good link profile for T2?

Thanks for answering everyone's questions so well.

any tips or walkthrough tutorial on PBN's here? I really want to learn a lot about them.

For T1 you can get niche then it is easier to rank them as a whole domain than general niche domain where you got to rank your single posts. For T2 you can use general niche blogs.

Sristy,

Please update your earnings.

Love this thread.

I never really bother about metrics especially after majestic screwed it up in the last update. But all my expired domains have at least 20 RD and clean anchor texts before they are picked up. But for your question here are the metrics:
DA 15 PA 7 TF 16 CF 19

Out of the 30 PBNs that i have been targeting for longtails, 20 are on first spot, 4 on 2nd spot, 5 on 3rd spot and 1 on 5th spot. All in Google. I am not tracking other engines.

Traffic from all the sites have roughly touched 3200-4600 uniques per day and pageviews of 19k-21k 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. This is same as previous month, even though i had planned to try using adsense, i felt this configuration need to be checked at the peak traffic levels before i test with one monetization method for a full month on all sites.

Money sites are now earning $30-40 per day depending on weekday/weekend. Weekends being the better earners.

30 PBNs are earning around $35-45 per day out of which adsense is around $12-18.

Total earnings for the last 30 day is $3150. Cost of running this whole network is around $500, this includes all the premium hosting and content for the sites.

I have been just adding content in the last 30 days and did no linking. May be i will leave it like this for another month or so before having some plans for it to may be broaden the keyword that i am targeting or something in that fashion.

One major update or factor that i never looked upon but chanced is that these sites have started ranking for some longtail keywords which never was shown by any keyword tool. There is one particular longtail keyword for which 4 of my sites occupy first page and drives huge traffic. But i am very skeptical about this particular keyword ranking as it can draw attention or bring out my network in the open. So i am paranoid and keep checking the sites for correctness of bot blocking etc. This is also the reason i am not doing any linking activity for the last month and will not be doing so in the next 30 days.

Mega thanks to you and your case to the whole community, mate, I use whole afternoon to read all your threads, every word, one of the most valuable cases in BHW these years for sure, very clear and easy to follow.

As worked with a Master last year, got some experience with PBN building and have to say, what you post here is 100% line with many gurus ( I never mean the gurus are always correct, dont get me wrong), so not very surprise with your success of this case consider you are veteran already for years!

Many people would find this is very useful to their seo journey, thanks again for the shareness!

Thank you. Love your approach. Congrats on the ROI!

interested in this as well ......

How do you receive payment using 4 different adsense accounts? Are on different names with different account numbers? I am interested to do this and avoid being banned by adsense for multiple accs. on same name.

Did you used social signals, they have any effects from your experience?

Nice journey.

For Adsense I use 1 business account and 3 personal accounts. All in family. Not all in my name. They all are 10 yr old accounts.

Social signals to each post occasionally and sharing of some posts in some large groups. Fiverr is a good place for this. At least half the domains have their own social profiles with activity, again got them through fiverr. Nothing great with them but helps in the long run.

Any updates on this @Sristy especially as we have one more month of monetization to report

I don't understand this. Isn't this an obvious footprint for google? Don't you share your surname with other family members? Google can easily find out the connection between your PBNs and money site. And owner of your money site and adsense owner of a couple of PBNs is you too?

P.S. I did not read the whole thread yet. So I am sorry if I miss something critical.

I don't think google acts like a private investigator when hunting down PBN's..

Actually google is not going to be a James Bond of internet. Mostly it happens when you are a prominent internet marketer gaming the system on a large scale and then brag about it or others start bragging about it that Google start noticing it.

Great share. Got my links from @Sristy and OP knows her stuff well
