AI Summary
This video explains how to build and manage a Private Blog Network (PBN) for SEO purposes. The speaker argues that PBNs still work effectively when done correctly, despite claims of their demise, and provides practical advice on domains, hosting, content, and avoiding footprints.
Chapters
PBNs remain effective for SEO, especially in competitive niches like finance and gambling. Links are still a major ranking signal for Google.
You need expired domains, hosting with unique IPs (e.g., from Easy Blog Networks or GoPBN), and unique content. Avoid using the same registrar or hosting for all sites.
Use fake names, different email addresses, different hosting companies, unique WordPress templates, and avoid interlinking PBNs. Do not use the same plugins across all sites.
Content must be unique and well-written. Avoid spun or copied content. You can outsource to writers from the Philippines, Fiverr, or hire locally.
The speaker recommends building links to PBNs to maintain domain rankings and power, but not too aggressively. Treat PBNs like real websites.
Good expired domains are hard to get. Use drop catchers rather than expired domain marketplaces, as the best domains are caught by professionals.
Use tools like Sip (sip.net) to monitor uptime and metrics. Also track rankings and backlink profiles with other tools.
The speaker advises against selling links publicly as it can lead to deindexing. PBNs are best kept private assets.
You can build PBN sites in-house or outsource to web designers. Services like CostAPBN offer affordable PBN building with content.
PBNs remain a viable SEO strategy when executed with care to avoid footprints and maintain quality. The key is treating each PBN site as a legitimate website with unique content, hosting, and gradual link building.

yes pbn still worked very well these days a lot of people skill Mongolian and of course that is really bad PB ends over there that are lately to get you penalized in by search engines but PB ins done properly still work very well indeed and anything done properly still works very well and and B industry so those two sides of the story people say PB ends up dead like Belding is dead and stuff like that that
isn't the case links are still one of the mean ranking signals for google and PB ins do still work very very effectively if you look at anyone in there kind of finance gambling me two of the most competitive market so clear you will see most of the top players do some form of PB in strategy this is seem for most other competitive markets whether they like it or not PB ends both played part of that strategy
and whether B even know that's the case is as always the case because when you P anything your company to do like building the chances are PB ends are going to come into play regardless of how whitehat the company heads on the are so yeah they work very well so to start a pbn you need a bunch of the main memes ojos da all registered under Bethan account names and and worth different domain registrar's you also
need hosting you can get pbn hosting from the lakes of easy blog networks or go P being calm know what these guys do is provide you with definite IP addresses different several occasions what different hosting companies all from a cool dashboard and so you can use that or I work the old-school way and I have PPN setup and all different hosting companies registered under fake names which gave me unique IP addresses and it's all what a
hassle but it means that I'm not leaving a massive footprint what you don't want to do is have them all on one shared server from one IP address so you need hosting you need them in names you can buy your domain names from GoDaddy options expire domain names those guys you're sailing domain names those lords of places you can get that so you need the demeans hosting you also need to get website done for you or
build them yourself content on those websites and stuff like that that's the core basics that you need to set up a PB in the artist websites then the D so content host in lines dominions is all you need to set up a PB n so as I said in the last question avoiding footprints as redstone yet the mean means and the better account names using different email addresses you don't want to have the same hosting company
hosting all your PB ends you don't want have the same user name you don't want to use the same workplace templates you don't want to use this in content you do not want to enter link your PB ends you don't want to use the same set of plugins and every PB in there was us some of the kiwis to avoid leaving footprints when using a PB n but other work more that you can talk about but
those are kind of basic things you would do to avoid leaving footprints getting content for Pb ends is difficult getting content for every website can prove to be difficult because someone has to rate it it has to be unique and it has to be well-written and that is the hard part you know a lot of people thank TB end you can just shove up any old crap on there what you don't really want to do is
have a bad PPN that doesn't rank will and it's full of spun content or copied content it doesn't really add value to your PB n you want to treat your PB n like a new website so you can sort your content to whatever you want you know I don't know if it's a lot there's a local guy that does your content and you've gotta make it at the end of the day doesn't matter who you use
what you use as long as it's unique and add value to the website that you have there um I do have content raters that doing the content for me and it's something outsourced it's not someone in the office and you know you can outsource to people in the Philippines or you can get someone in Fiverr or you can hide a local person to do the content for you either way is good people will tell you no
and don't build links to your PB ends I personally do and they I think it's important that you maintain your domain rankings on your PB n rankings and build links to your PB ends and I'm not suggesting for a second that would build a huge amount Alang stair PB n because the job is not to rank it well it's to maintain the power that the domain name that we have in place that that is the job
and obviously keep traffic coming to the website is way also that as an element of link building that goes onto PB ins with my strategy anyway and that will continue sort PPM's like you would treat your own website the next question is where do you get good expired the mean names so this is a question that crops up regularly whether you could expire the meanings if you go to a website like expired the means donate you're
going to get the domain names that no one else wanted and there are tools out there like the main hunter-gatherer and which are paid for tools that you can hunt for expiring the mean names and hope that no one else beds for them but as this thing called drop catches and the those guys out there who are ten ten steps ahead of you and basically what they do is for all the good demon names that are
gonna expire we have multiple domain registrar accounts through nominee and you know you can pay to be a registrar and what they do is when did the means expire these days nor the exact time and all that kind of stuff and all these kind of nominee accounts are all tight negate that they meaning that's going to expire and then they flog on to su people or whatever I saw it's quite hard to get the good quality
the mean means without going through to a drop catch up and there are a couple of good drop catch also here so I'm not going to tell you who they are that's up to you to find out who they are but there are good drop captures out there who will catch the means for you and it's probably better that you go to drop catch or rather than set waiting at the other end on expired them unions
because all you're going to do is get the rubbish and that comes over the US or yeah you need to think outside of the box for that one so how do I monitor pp ends ooh having tons of PB ends is hard work and you have to use some form of tools the mana CFPB ends I use a tool called sipped dotnet which is quite a cool tool that monitors the up tame it shows you that
the main matrix of the PP ends and there's a whole lot of other stuff on sip thought Nate let's play cool and that's a tool I hope to use my P beings obviously I stick the PP ends and two other tools this will just monitor the rankings and backlink profiles and all that kind of stuff as well but see up dot near as a cool tool because it's got an octane monitor and it could Quakers get
45 other features on it which can all really help with you are P being so you should take a look at that too is a big part of my be to be in tool kit so check it out the answer is No lengths on rpb hens purely because it's private blog networks or they're not for public seal people do seal lengths on the PB ends but just totally Fame I'm just came down against that because I
see P beings as assets to my business and that don't really want to publicly seal them I don't want to have my PB ins with hundreds of thousands are open links on nom because Google can again look at that and go well that's clearly a PB in and B the job is not to leave that kind of footprints or PB ends I can I use for my own personal use to help some friends out and stuff
like that but they're not publicly available for sale as some people do and they do it very well you're not sleeping the people who do Co PB ins publicly that as a market for that but they have to Chum through a hell of a lot more PB ends than I do because some of the PP ins do get the index and stuff like that and you know that my job is not to get my PB into
the indexed by doing that but you can still get some rewards from people who do sell them publicly and there's a good number of high-profile names are sailing good light so you can use that if you want if you want to make use of other people's PB ins as the next question so who builds moppy beings hen we have people in the office who go peepee end use indefinite well place templates and stuff like that we
can also outsource pbn Beldon - you can outsource it to ever you want whoever's going to do it the cheapest you can get guys on you know websites like find a freelancer as a million a million different web designers I'm doing low-cost what place websites you also have cost a PB in who as a well-known PB and beldar does them for a very affordable place and I think you also Chuck send some content so course the
PP and it's a good option for you but those loads of PPN builders area and who roll even budget in websites or whatever but we we tend to do a lot of it in ourselves and purely just to mix things up and make sure that it has done properly but if you can't be bothered do knock there's a lot of hard work tedious work and stuff like that then you can outsource that in part of the
work is we all there's a million different good quality a web designers out there that will ton though our place website for peanuts so you can use any one of those guys to buy your PB ends
