Everybody knows that PBNs are frowned upon by Google. The reason is that they work. The problem, according to Google, is that you are not supposed to control the links to your money site. But everybody know that is exactly what is happening anyway. They’re just a little more subtle about it today. The Googlebot cannot function without following links. The Google Search Results Page is only links. Even the ads are links. The Internet cannot function without links. How would you find anything? Randomly typing domain names into the URL bar? That’s never going to work. OK, so we’ve established that you need to have links pointing to your money site or you get no visitors and no sales or subscribers. Google wants you get these links because someone else decides to link to your content. Please! How are they going to find you and are they even looking? No, what happens is that some marketers spend hours every day emailing webmasters offering guest posts, payment for links, payment for traffic, etc. All things Google doesn’t want you to do. Mini-Nets are the original PBNs. Lazy marketers screwed the entire concept up which brought the Google hammer down. Guess what? People are still using these and they still work as long as the linking sites are real sites with real content and they are not cloned. Modern PBNs utilise free and paid platforms to build their links to their money sites. They might have a Pinterest account, a TikTok account, a YouTube account, an X account, something on Facebook, an Instagram account, a Blogger account, something on Google sites, a Tumbler account, a WordPress.com account and a WordPress blog, etc. Most of these can be free pages focussed on a single keyword that is not targeted on any of the other sites. Most of these have 5 – 10 pages for the particular micro-niche and they link to 2 other sites, one of the PBN sites and the money page. But, the crucial thing here is to monetise each of the tier 1 sites so they are legitimate sites in their own right. All of these links are the type of thing that Google wants to see so they’ll reward you with rankings and organic visitors. Yes, it does take work, but what’s it worth to have evergreen relevant visitors to your pages? Are you prepared to put in a few months work for years worth of income? Here’s one platform that allows you to build a blog for free. https://go.wm-tips.com/systeme in 2025 I plan to make the blog here the money page because everything I need is there, including an affiliate program. That means that the other sites have a reason to link to the product pages, they’re affiliates. This is so much easier than it was when PBNs were all the rage. Regards, |
