I know PBN links are very powerful because they're from high authority expired domains.

But instead of going through the stress of setting up lots of PBNs, why don't SEOs just purchase guest posts or niche edits on high DA authority websites. Why??

Isn't that much easier than setting up a PBN only to be able to give a single link to your money website. Or is there something I'm missing out on??

Because most PBNs are actually public networks and spammed to death with boosted metrics hence they are "cheap"
& people tends to cheap out on everything
They see the metrics and consider
why pay $100 per post when I can get 50 post for $100.

I get more post = more bl = better rankings = I buy pbn

Yeah but he asked about the opposite
 
because when people go to the hassle and expense on setting up their own PBNs, they have extremely low outbound links, and therefore pass a lot more juice to the target site, than a high DA blog with lots of outbound links would pass

because a real PBN setup is not cheap and is far harder to maintain than one would think
So spending $100 or wahtever on a guest post is actually on the cheaper side sometimes
Domain names
hosting
content
maintenance they are all ongoing expenses

For a reason why, because your site's growth and profits will outweigh the expenses, because you are paranoid and want to do everything yourself.

Pbns are not that expensive and cool in performing yet guest post are long term bet and expensive as well .

Mostly user prefer pbns but the real seo guys use guest post to build the site up over .
 
The reasons are many:

- PBNs scale better than guest posts - if you have, for example, 100-300 money site to link to then You will do it more efficiently through PBN network

- if you put up Your own PBN network, then after a year the only cost is to renew the infrastructure (domains, servers, ip) and You can link more money site from them, so you get a better return on investment than from one-time bought guest posts

- over the links on PBN You have 100% control, You can remove , modify them, on guest posts You can not do it

- there are very difficult niches, where You need to combine all sources of ranked backlinks - then You use both guest posts and PBNs

- nowadays the strongest backlinks are from homepages, so putting a strong PBN You can get much more power than from guest posts
 
These link types are not competitors. They compliment each other well.

There are two things PBN provides that no other link types do (at least not in such extent).
  • Power
  • Control
 
Comparatively, cost wise PBN's are better than Guest posts.
Also, you can get quick results than the latter, but the only thing is you should get the quality ones.
 
Guest Posts > PBN.
But i prefer PBN (Build own resource), i like to build backlinks that i have full control of them.
PBN is expensive cause u must build on different IP every domain, maintaning, and more.
 
some factors are not suitable while using Guest post as High cost, not control over them, less quantity
 
apart from cost and other stuff fellow members are discussing there is one thing I want to mention that with own PBN network the owner have the complete control on everything i.e. outbound links, neighbourhood, location for the placement of links etc.

Own PBN = Your Complete Control
Guest Post on 3rd Party Side = No Control
 
PBN links are budget-friendly, You can get more referring links on the budget you spend for 1 guest post,

If those PBNs are quality and relevant, You can definitely go Instead for an authority guest post.

And you can link to your site as much as you want?

What if I make the PBN undetectable by ranking it by treating it as a normal purchased old domain site, monetizing the PBN with ads and affiliate networks compared to other PBN that has no traffic or any of that.

Isn't that 'killing two birds with one stone'.

linking to your site multiple time from same domain is of no benefit. Linking one or two time is enough.

if you have more then one site in your niche then obviously you can link them all but without creating any pattern from your PBN.

Yes you can monetize your PBN and kill two birds with one stone.

You can kill another bird by selling guest post or promoted content on your PBN with traffic but make sure you dont sell links or posts to shitty websites and risk your PBN.
