Updated on 10.05.2020
Recently Fernando Raymond wrote an extensive guide that covers everything about Private Blog Networks and PBN SEO and when you read it you will know how PBNs adapt for SEO works in 2020.
Well, It’s a complex query to find an answer that “Whether PBN will work for SEO or not?“. Generating backlinks will help you to budge the ranks of your web pages on Google. But should you use private blog networks to rank your websites in search engines?
That’s what we will answer today and also we will explain to you what is a PBN?
What is a PBN?
Private blog networks AKA PBNs collective of blogs owned by one or more people privately to increase the ranks of websites on the search engines. Basically, it is a blog network but by implementing third-party bot blockers the owners make it private.
So when you get backlinks from PBNs the backlink monitoring tools like Ahrefs, MajesticSEO or even SEMRush can not find them. Only the Google bots and any other crawlers that are not blocked can read the backlinks that come from a private blog network.
Are PBNs good to use for SEO?
Backlinks being the main Off-Page factor in SEO, the question is that whether the PBN backlinks help you to improve the ranks or not.
At times people who are working in the SEO industry try to build a bunch of links to the target webpage from the high authority websites.
This is done by buying the expired high authority domains and linking from it.
This gave birth to the PBN’s (Private Blog Networks). SEO people started using private network blogs to generate quality backlinks to their website.
Benefits of Using PBN’s in SEO:
You may hear from many that PBN’s are scam and will not work anymore to budge your site to the top of the Google, But it’s only partly true.
If you choose the right PBN sites for linking, then it will definitely help you with getting an SEO boost for your website without most of your competitors noticing it because you can block crawlers of backlink checkers with .htaccess blocking rules.
You can use tools like Linxact to monitor your or your competitor’s PBNs since it specifically crawls hidden PBN backlinks, which regular backlink checkers like Ahrefs and Majestic do not.
It also depends on whether the PBN is updated regularly. More than giving importance to the domain authority of the PBN site, make sure that the PBN sites are hosted in the unique IP’s and not on the same IP.
Links from the sites hosted at the same IP will not help you with SEO by any means.
This will clearly make Google understand that it is a manual link building process.
Cons (Not Much) of PBN links:
When it comes to talking about the cons of the PBN links, there’s not much to think about unless you give improper anchors, linking from spammy sites, using the deindexed sites for linking, etc.
When you try to build links, avoid using the direct keyword anchors, instead, you can use the brand anchors or the naked links.
Using the direct keyword anchors will help Google to spot that you are building the links manually.
Also. before publishing the posts in the PBN sites, make sure that the site is well-indexed by Google.
Because posting blogs in deindexed sites will not help you.
Don’t build a bunch of links from different sites on the same day, Gradually publish posts and build one or two links daily from different sites. This will make your backlink profile to look more natural.
Building many links in the short period of time will spoil all the SEO works that you have done so far.
