If you have a really good money site that will last for years and earn a lot (Alexa 10 000 or something) I guess it is worth keeping the network online.
How many domain are actually needed to rank for something like 30K per month providing you done a good kw research? 20-30 PBN sites?
It all comes down to conversion rate, if you have better earning per click you can afford larger and better PBN.
Who knows, Google is so weird sometimes. I purchased a EMD from the 90s, and built some really solid high authority legit links, and I'm
ranking around 100 about a month in. I'm sure it will still take some time to build some trust as this domain was just redirecting in the past, but
there are sites on page two and three ranking with a few crappy links. Getting some decent rankings on smaller keywords, but weird I'm
ranked so poorly on the EMD keyword.
AS for PBN, my new strategy is to just keep building. Try and get atleast ten to start and never stop. Just think, when you get to #1, there's going
to be dozens of competitiors trying to surpass you, so once you get to the top, solidify it. Add even new domains to your PBN, add one today,
and year or two down the road it's an aged established domain in your PBN.
We can all sit and say Google is stupid, doesn't know this or that, but one thing is certain, they are getting stricter. I don't want to deal with penalties
in the future, I'm building websites that I want to last for decades, not for months. I'm investing in my site. All content is top of the line, all
incoming links are high quality. I don't want 'okay' quality articles pointing to my site, they have to look legit if anyone was to ever come across them.
And honestly, I don't even think Google would care that much. If you're putting up a 5+ page website full of quality content, and you link to your site,
are you breaking rules? SUre, you're still gaming the system,b ut you're not putting out shit content. It's not much different than some of the clueless
companies out there that have 'sister' sites and other sites that are obviously connected, and link back and forth, and Google doesn't touch them.
Just read this after I made my post. Pretty much what I said. Put up a quality site and Google probably won't bug you, they just don't want to see obvious crap, and to be honest, you can't blame them.
