High PR blog network for SEO?

So how does this work? I bought a WSO recently that shows you how to choose high PR domains to make your own network for SEO. And that was it.

I wanted to ask you what you do with those domains once you get them? So let's say I buy some high PR domains. Do I make a Wordpress blog on them? If I do, how do I increase my rankings in Google for another site? As far as I got reading SEO gigs, I put keyword rich articles on the blog linking to the site I want to rank. But how do I link in those articles?

Please respond if you know anything about this, it's painfully obvious I don't.

Thanks

    It's usually easier to put your link in your blog roll as opposed to in your posts, although you can certainly link to inner pages on individual blog posts.

    And yes, put up a wordpress or blogger blog on the domain.

      Thanks. Does is matter what the domain name is? For example, if I want to rank a site in niche A, does it matter that the domain name is more relevant to niche B?

    You buy high PR domains to link so sites you want to rank. For example, if you bought domain1.com which has a high PR, you build content on the homepage and link to domainA.com which you want to rank. If you want to rank for keyword 'widgets' then you hyperlink 'widgets' to domainA.com from your high PR domain within it's content.

    You can put the links in a blogroll, but the effectiveness of the link is stronger if it is within content.

    However, I'm going to warn you. Doing this is expensive and you have to know what you are doing. For example knowing which domain to buy,how to build them, making sure the linking structure is the same before you bought it, analyzing the backlinks to the domain to make sure they stay intact, etc...If you do not already have alot of experience in SEO, or internet marketing in general as well, I would not get into this.

      This ... exactly.

      For all the reasons Bill gives as examples, above, and more ... you have to know what you're doing to do this successfully. Otherwise it's really high-risk and by no means a cheap mistake to make.

        Thanks, guys. I was just looking for information because the WSO lacked them. You have been very helpful.

        Thanks again

      Yes, good advice.

      Two things I will add to that, if I may.

      (1) I believe that some people selling these domains engage in a practice known (at least to me, lol) as "PageRank spoofing", by insidiously making use of redirects/masking or whatever. What happens, of course, is that by the time you become the owner, the PR ceases to exist. You've essentially bought a dud, worthless domain. One way of verifying the authenticity of your prospective domain's PR is to run an "info:whateverdomain.com" search on Google. If the domain that gets returned in the result matches up with the one you ran the search against, you should be good to go. If not, the PR is probably spoofed. In which case, run for the hills (or at least don't buy it ).

      (2) When you do purchase your domain(s), you will have to ensure the backlinks responsible for the PR are pointing to pages that actually exist. So you'll need to do your research and ensure you set them up. This isn't necessarily going to be a small task, so doing a catch-all 301 redirect to the hompage might suffice as a short-term workaround, perhaps? Though I'm not sure how fondly Google would look upon a site that does this, if indeed they'd care at all. :confused:

      Just my 2 cents, anyhow.

        You also need to be very carefull not to buy a fake PR domain.

        You need a live PR plugin for firefox like SEO Quake running so you can see PR shown in the SERPS then put this into google:

        info:domain.ext

        Make sure the PR shown matches what is claimed AND that the domain shown in the result is the exact spelling of the domain on sale!

        Many are duped into buying fake PR domains.

        If in doubt pm me ?

        GREAT POINTS!

        Always check the link profiles. We use Open Site Explore after finding good domains with our expiring domain tool. We can sort by PageRank/MozRank, but then we go in manually to ensure the links are not gone. That does happen frequently with time. Sorting by priority, then verifying the powerful links are still in place and can be saved is critical.

        If everything looks kosher, the next step is to get the domain, get a site up and preserve the content's message as quickly as possible.

        Once you have done that you can plug your domains into a system like LinkOrbit to manage posting and even supplement in posts (if you choose) to dilute your inter-linking.

        Don't link inter-link on the blogroll, especially if you are on a shared IP. Best way to do it is to do it is to make it appear like a legit site in every way. FB Page, Twitter Profile, Fans, Resourceful Blog, etc. etc.

        Most of the time launching network-blogs with minimal effort means you cut corners and there will be signs and patterns where you give yourself away.

      First, unless you are already making a full time income online I would not recommend this route.

      If you insist however you need to do a few things.

      1) Buy several (10-15) High PR AGED Domains (expired)

      2) Set up a blog on each domain using separate C class Ips (seo hosting from hostgator does this)

      3) Add Unique Quality content to each blog (preferably on a regular basis)

      4) Add your links within blog posts so they are contextual links.

      Its not hard but honestly you're better off just buying into a Private blog network or using a service such a Linkvana, Linkamotion, etc.

      Hope that helps,

      James
