Most of the "big" seo gurus out there say stay away from private blog networks (PBN's). Others say it is the thing to do, regardless of the Google slap. What's your authoritative conclusion?
@dorseyjack Well, If you talk about conclusion then i would love to go with personal blog network. Although Google can easily identify the PBN but it doesn't mean you won't get the value of your placed work. Yes! Depending on the PBN isn't good. Instead of buying Post on bulk, you should go through the few numbers of the PBN post consistently from the different marketplace.
PBN is still good if the domains are good. There are some crappy PBNs, you should stay away from those. If you invest on quality, you are sure to get the return in terms of Google ranking.
i dont think can anyone predict correctly about pbn because nobody can say surely is pbn dead or not. in my opinion pbn is still working fine you need to setup correctly that's it.
yeah they work but as time goes you need to be compete with industry . you have to treat them like a real assets and keep investing them ..quality content ..social media signals and pretty looking , no spun content etc ..as you do on any blog or real site ...domain should have decent matrix . they work but you need investment and effort ...
If you know what are you doing then yes, but if you have absolutely no idea - it's better to stay away.
PBN is a good way for getting money, you can sell guest post in your site. But it can be bad way if your PBN site deindex by google.
