R.I.P Private Blog Networks

I wondered why the hell I saw a massive jump in my rankings and traffic 1-2 weeks ago, now I know. I never went close to networks as I knew what was going to happen. Anything that is PUBLIC is known to G and hence it will get stamped out. That's why if you've got something that works, DON'T FUCKING SHARE IT HERE. Because they i.e. matt cunts , G swarmbots and more G cronies, all read BHW and other IM forums. It sounds selfish to not share it, but for gods sake, if you make it public it will work eventually for 0 people. If you keep it to yourself, at least it will work for 1 person.

I'm currently contemplating the cost of making, say, 100 sites solely to get links from. But 1000$ just on domains. Unique IP for each site, $2 x 12 months x 100 = $2400 per year. Hosting say 10 hosting accounts, $1000 per year. Content costs $5 per post you make. If you want to keep your site quality it has to be unique hand written. The cost just becomes astronomical. They really want to squeeze your balls until you use adwords don't they...

I am never going to take joy in other people getting slapped by G, because I know how it feels. But really, it was always coming. And it's been way too easy to rank using networks while those who don't use networks have been put at a major disadvantage. Many of my sites which used to be #4-#5 have shot to #1 and stayed there. It shows how many sites ranking automatically with blog networks were basically taking money off hard working SEO guys like me. I am not saying all people with BMR etc didn't work hard, but it was a really useful shortcut/hole in G's system for a long time that finally got closed. If I were matt cunts I would not even make myself a public figure like that, because I would hate to be the subject of some guy whose income has been taken away overnight, loses his house etc. I just think it's fucked up how one company wields so much power over people's fortunes. Even whether they live a happy, prosperous life, or whether they kill themselves through crushing depression. It's fucked up how matt cunts stands there in his glasses talking about it like he is all high and mighty, he tries to come across as friendly and not wanting to be evil as the G slogan says, but deep down, deep deep down, you know that four eyed pigeon loves the power.

The question is: Is making your own network really economically viable?

It depends on the marginal productivity of the network. If you have a small operation, the answer is probably no. If you have a large operation, the answer is probably yes.
 
Crappy private networks are dieing. Private networks that are done right will/can never die.

Don't leave footprints, Dont interlink poorly/not at all. Make the website's of some quality. Different hosting, different ips and different registras for each site. Have a good mixture of WP,Joomla, HTML sites (all with different themes), don't have analystics on the site/or any Google products.

I have 3 "small" networks, each consisting of around 20 sites. Help my rankings tremendously, in tough niches too.

Side tip: Already been mentioned, Google is placing a lot of weight on anchor variety too, so make sure you have a lot of generic anchors within your backlinking profile.
 
I did read your post which was very informative.

However, the downside is you used a title that making false claims in hopes of attracting more views and attention. This is what you see at places like WF or DP.

Your thread would have been much better off with something a little more related to the actual content you posted IMHO. Good threads like yours don't need to trick people into reading them since the content quality speaks for itself.

And of course BassTracker isn't god, but I know he does know his way around PNs and making them work.

That's all I was saying.;)

I understand and thanks.

Yes, I will tell you a small secret. Treat each of your sites as real blogs.. meaning having a system which generates fake comments, don't put links in every post, consistently backlink your networks in your blogs and this is all im willing to share in a public but to be honest but with that info alone you can defiantly succeed.

Im also planing on building a network and it will be only for Jr.VIP's but I can only say it will not be soon since my programming team are very busy but once they are done with my other projects I want to begin this one.. I have done a ton of reading on this and done my own testing with these networks..

This will be free to anyone in Jr.VIP's (Even though im not one I will be soon :)) the only thing I would require is that you bring in you own high PR blogs to the network.. This will be a very and I mean very strict network and will not be for sale.

Meaing, if you don't mange your blog like you would any other blog then you will not be able to use the network etc..

I even had my guys make me a plugin which automatically spins content and checks copyscape and then post spun variation of it.

But it would really come down to how many people would be willing to do this. If no one is interested I will simply keep if for myself. :cool:
 
Algo's taking out "Private" Networks is the exact same thing as the cops raiding a drug den.

Will there be more drug dens tomorrow? YES
Will the cops stop drugs? NO... (drugs in our case being IM'ers manipulating rankings.)

So Google rounded up some perps, some got let go, some got life in jail.
This will happen every 6 months I reckon, and these same shitty threads will keep appearing.

But you know what, it's great because it will force more guys out of IM and leave me with a bigger piece. See the big picture, and stop over analysing the small things, too many people here get tunnel vision.
 
yeah, google is manually de-indexing these blog networks...find a stealth blog network and you should be fine...maybe!...ha...
 
Exactly! add to that list this issue of spun content on all your network and possibly all the ips being very similar (if they are all on the same host) and you have a recipe for a PANDA SLAP! It hurts, trust me. I figured out that this is what happened being with a paid blog network for only 1 month! However if you have an older site with a diversified linking strategy I believe your site will hang in there. Hopefully something else will come along that helped us just as well.
