I was asking more for the consequences for the websites that the pbn points at. The pbn itself is punished of course

Experiences?

But thank you
 
lol, penalty... considering how lazy people at google are, do you really think they have the will to go after everyone who is building pbn? Also, in an age where they are trying to sacrifice organic results to make room for paid results? lol stop joking, they won't do anything... just be careful to avoid algo penalty from their bot/IA, that's all
 
It depends, if your entire backlink profile is that PBN network, you probably going to get penalised.

If it's a small percentage, then probably nothing, as it would make SEO attacks on sites too easy. Either find a good PBN seller who hides their PBN extremely well, or just make it a small part of your backlink portfolio.
 
Thnank you for your answers,

There are confusing results in the pool..
 
Money sites get caught for using PBN not PBN itself.

For as long as money site is not rankings high, search engines don't care about your PBN.

Once money site gets reviewed and "caught" for using PBN, it might get a penalty, yes, and PBN units will get de-indexed.
 
I don't see any reason you would get penalty from google by buying 5-10 PBN links per month.
 
Major fucking headache. I was using them, then ALL my sites got hit, then I realised, better of spending your energy doing it the right way for long term results. PBN are quick hits of juice.
 
You get moved to #1 spot immediately and enjoy all the $$$ in the world

Interesting
What does small part equate to?
Say I have 100 backlinks.
10 are web 2.0s, 10 are social, 20, guest post, 30 pbn, 30 etc?

Another question
If a pbn is of high quality, it wouldn't matter how many of it you'll acquire because it's better disguise isn't it?

Have a nice day
 
never had any issues in the past +15 years creating PBNs (even before the term existed lol), but i heard of other people having their network deindexed (probably due to a shitty setup that was easy to follow), so thats the worst that can happen.

There is no definite answer, the lower the percentage the lower the risk.

If a well disguised PBN got busted, and your profile is 100% that network, then yes you will probably be penalised.

Every PBN is risky, it's up to you to determine whether it's disguised well or not, since every PBN owner will say it's "high quality"

I tend to judge marketplace sellers this way :
If the mod approving the thread makes a review like:
-yeah its like advertised
-yesh the metrics match
-yeah the content is readble

My conclusion is that this mod has seen countless of these.

However if if I see a sslesthread with a mod review like:
"I'm impressed"
"Very good quality"
"He over delivered"
"You can't expect bad from him"

You know you better tend towards the latter than the first

Thats my way Anyway.

That's what got me burned in the past. I learned the hard way that I had to learn SEO. Regardless of what mods say you get good stuff and trash, this is because everyone is different and everyone has different standards.

All you need to do is ask the sellers the questions. When I didn't ask questions and I blindly went into it, I got burned, a lot. I received so much trash it's unreal. I then spent a year learning SEO, and now everything I purchase is top quality. Because I know exactly what I need. And sellers cannot lie if you ask them questions, otherwise a refund is incoming after the purchase.

With PBN's I mainly care about who they are sharing with, the OBL's per domain, the backlink profile, the content quality, and the context of my backlink. With sellers I trust due to my own research, I make exceptions for some criteria.

To clarify, I do not need to read the mods reviews, if the seller is offering what I need, then I buy the service. It's really as simple as that. The mods approval is just a safety net IMO.
 
Probably a penalization and risk of your entire portfolio being exposed
 
If your earnings are small, it is not worth it and you may be punished.
 
The PBN gets deindex and all the sites it is pointing to lose that link.

I am using his service, cannot expect more for his excellent job.
