Here is a 7 step checklist to make sure your PBN doesn’t get killed. The overall strategy is to minimize your footprint and make sure your PBN sites look like “legit” sites. 1. Hosting Having a class C (and even a Class A) ip range doesn’t cut it anymore. You want to have diversified hosting. You want a mix of cheap hosting and premium hosting (GoDaddy, BigRock, Bluehost, etc). For cheap hosting, here is a list: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1189631 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1189593 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1189545 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1189534 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1189531 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1189451 http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1189438 My recommendation: 1 hosting account per pbn site. Pro tip: DON’T use SEO hosting companies. Its easy for google to wipe out their entire address block. 2. Registration info You want a unique persona for each of your PBN site. AKA each site is owned by 1 unique person. Why? The reason is this: google will look at all this info and see that it all lines up. Sites get penalized because they were using all the same information on all their PBNs (Leaving a huge footprint) How? Step 1: Goto http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ and generate a full profile. The info (name, address, etc) is what you will use to signup for the domain purchase, the hosting purchase AND the info on the “About Us” page of your site. Step 2: Use a separate, but valid, email address for each persona. You can do this manually, or you can purchase email addresses(with their passwords) in bulk on fiver. What about payment & the fake info? Pay via paypal. Also, if you want to pay via credit card, most of the time the “info section” of your fake persona is different than the payment section. Pro tip 1: Create a gravatar for your fake persona Pro tip 2: On word press (or whatever platform), make sure the author is not admin but the name of your persona. So when John Smith writes a post on his PBN site, it’s published as John Smith and not Admin. Pro tip 3: Don’t ever put Google Analytics on your PBN sites 3. Do have internal links You want your blog post to link to other articles on your sites, and other pages. You don’t want your posts to only link to external sites. 4. Link out to authority sites Link out to news sites, wikipedia etc and make sure its relevant to the content of your post. 5. Have internal pages Make sure that you have internal pages such as: FAQ, About Us, Contact Us, Terms and Conditions, Legal pages 6. Don’t link to de-indexed or shitty sites For example, if google tagged a site as bad (Deindexed, penalized) don’t link out to it. Its easy for google to look at any back links and tag any obvious PBNs as bad too. 7. Change your SOA SOA stands for Start of Authority. By default, your host/domain provider will put your email as the SOA. So if you have multiple PBN sites, with all the same SOA email, its easy to uncover your entire PBN. To do a quick check on your SOA goto google and search for your email address. Replace the @ symbol with a dot. Use the brackets for the search. For example, if my email is , type “johnsmith.hotmail.com” with the quotes. See what comes up. If nothing shows up, you’re in the clear. You should change it anyways. You need to change the email in two places. On the hosting side: In Cpanel there is an “update contact” section where you can change it. On the domain side: Go in the Update DNS records section. There is a sub section for updating SOA Original article (totally my website) https://azimusinsights.com/#/pbn-checklist
Pro tip: DON’T use SEO hosting companies. Its easy for google to wipe out their entire address block. Hi, how do I check if all of the IP's have been wiped out?
You would mainly notice if your rankings tanked, or if you get de-indexed. If you wanted to check out your entire ip range, just figure out your ip (in windows, open up a command prompt, and type "ping www.mysite.com" without the quotes) An ip will show up, say 201.15.144.125. Just go to every since IP (201.15.144.X) in your web browser and start analyzing each site... But all of that is not necessay, just check your own rankings
